	 * How to get substring UTF-8 characters

	// If you try something like this
	$utf_8_characters = 'Sábado';
	echo substr($utf_8_characters, 0, 3);
	// you get something like "Sá", but not "Sáb"

	// now, if you just use mb_substr
	// http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-substr.php
	echo mb_substr($utf_8_characters, 0, 3, 'UTF-8');
	// ..and we get this time: "Sáb"
	// Now, we ok :)
