Want to trim word in worpress which is in Chinese letter

Question

I have used wp_trim_words for get words in Wordpress paragraph. The paragraph is in Chinese letter. I want to get 10 words from the wordpress paragraph. But it is showing more work. i think.If it actual 10 words, then i want to take 30 character, So i used substr() for this. This is also return a different symbol in this.

I have used this for getting 10 words

wp_trim_words( get_the_content($postlist->post->ID), 10 )

It is showing like this

After this i have tried also this

$result = substr($myStr, 0, 5);

I got this after use substr()

You need to use mb_substr instead of substr.

mb_substr( get_the_content($postlist->post->ID), 0, 10, "utf-8" );

Finally, i got the answer by @George and i got the explanation like this from google. I think it will help a lot

It will impact your script if you work with multi-byte text that you substring from. If this is the case, I higly recommend enabling mb_* functions in your php.ini or do this ini_set("mbstring.func_overload", 2);

Please follow the link Difference between mb_substr and substr
