Can you clarify what *YOU* mean by a polyfill? Because you're talking about dependence on iconv/mbstring/icu which implies you want a polyfill that does something other than what the original utf8_en/decode() functions do, and those functions certainly do not need external dependencies. They're really just not that complex. -Sara
