unicode form data - how to obtain character codes?

Hi!

We hope somebody can help me with the following:

We have a form through which unicode data might be submitted. We need to be
able to detect when this happens and, most importantly, we need to be able
to obtain the unicode character codes for each individual letter/symbol.

Is this possible in PHP? If so, can you please provide a short code snippet.
We looked at the mbstring extension but found nothing helpful, especially
since the documentation is less than satisfactory.

Thank you very much!

Dominik, there is another short thread and code snippet related to
decoding Unicode UTF-8, archived here:
