RE: Using multi-byte characters

Hi Bryan, 

Here is the test result.

If I see the test result on the browser, the character is still intact here.
If I show the source of the result page, however, it is converted to NCR like...

["summary"]=>
string(8) "あ"
["description"]=>
string(8) "あ"

The same as above.

It seems that the character is already converted at the point 1.
