==Encoding==
Character [[⼤]] is encoded with 3 bytes:<br>

The encoding of [[⼤]] and related characters can be seen with the [[PHP]] code below:
<pre>
<?php
function mb_str_split($str) {
   // split multibyte string in characters
   // Split at all positions, not after the start: ^
   // and not before 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 spacebars */

$N=strlen($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");
}
?>
</pre>
The output is:
