character 女 ( & # 6 3 8 7 3 ;) and has similar meaning.

Existence of close synonyms is typical for the Unicode characters. Often, characters with similar pictures and similar meaning appear in Unicode; for example, A (A, & # 0 0 6 5 ;), А (А, & # 1 0 4 0 ;), Ꭺ (Ꭺ, & # 5 0 3 4 ;), Ａ (Ａ & # 6 5 3 1 3;)
at some graphical interfaces look very similar.

These similarities (and the encoding of the characters mentioned) can be revealed with the PHP program below:

<?php
function mb_str_split($str) {
   // split multibyte string in characters
   // at all positions excepr the start: ^
   // and the end: $
   $pattern = '/(?<!^)(?!$)/u';
   return preg_split($pattern,$str);
}

function uniord($a) 
{
  $M=strlen($a);
  $p=ord($a[0]);                    if($M==1) return $p;
  $p-=194;  $p*=64; $p+=ord($a[1]); if($M==2) return $p;
  $p-=2050; $p*=64; $p+=ord($a[2]);           return $p;
}

//$a='⼤,大;⼩,小'; # two pairs of different unicode characters separated with "," and ";"
$a='⼥,女;AАᎪᗅＡ'; # different unicode characters separated with "," and ";"
//$a='⼥,女'; # pair of different unicode characters separated with coma

$N=strlen($a);
echo "The array has $N bytes; here is its splitting:\n";

for($n=0;$n<$N;$n++)
{
printf("%02x ",ord($a[$n]) );
}
echo "\n";

$b = mb_str_split($a);

var_dump($b);
$M=count($b);

#mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

for($m=0;$m<$M;$m++)
{
printf("\n");
$c=$b[$m];
$u=uniord($c);
printf("Unicode character number %05d id est, x%04X\n",$u,$u);
$d=strlen($c);
echo "Picture: $c uses $d bytes. These bytes are:\n";
for($n=0;$n<$d;$n++) printf("x%2X ",ord($c[$n]));
printf("in the hexadecimal representation and\n");
for($n=0;$n<$d;$n++) printf("%3d ",ord($c[$n]));
printf("in the decimal representation\n");
}
?>

This program uses portable PHP functions mb_str_split.t and uniord.t. The oputut is copypasteed below:

The array has 20 bytes; here is its splitting:
