> character encoding is so much more robust in PHP than other languages.

This is not what I expected -- my limited past experiences with anything outside of Latin-1 using PHP have been perplexing and not smooth (and I generally like PHP well enough). Can you elaborate on what features or approach can make things robust?




PHP doesn't care about your encoding. Therefore it's simpler to work with any encoding in it, because you're managing it manually.
