Well, once you're using iconv, you can use:

int iconv_strlen ( string str [, string charset]);

To get that character length, and

int iconv_strpos ( string haystack, string needle, int offset [, string
charset])

To get the position of a character

Using the two functions listed, I don't see the need of more stuff, you
know the length of a string and you can know were any character is
placed in that string...
