"strange" characters
<p>This is my code:</p>

<pre><code>$result = "";
$str = "Тугайный соловей";
for ($y=0; $y &lt; strlen($str); $y++){
    $tmp = substr($str, $y, 1);
    $result = $result.$tmp;
}
echo "result = ".$result;
</code></pre>

<p>$result gives: Ð¢ÑƒÐ³Ð°Ð¹Ð½Ñ‹Ð¹ ÑÐ¾Ð»Ð¾Ð²ÐµÐ¹</p>

<p>I'm looking for two weeks to solve this problem reading all kinds of articles but still .....</p>

<p>Thank you very much! </p>
