mb_str_split
This function will return an array of strings, it is a version of str_split with support for encodings of variable character size as well as fixed-size encodings of 1,2 or 4 byte characters. If the length parameter is specified, the string is broken down into chunks of the specified length in characters (not bytes). The encoding parameter can be optionally specified and it is good practice to do so.
