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]));

}
?>

File uni.t should be also loaded in order to execute command

php gold.t

the output is:

⾦金金
The array has 9 bytes; here is its splitting:
e2 be a6 e9 87 91 ef a4 8a
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "⾦"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "金"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "金"
}
