It can be a UTF-8 problem in general - PHP has many functions that are not

of the old functions, see:
http://il.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php#mbstring.overload
However, I can't see an mbstring equivalent for preg_replace (while
ereg_replace does have one...) - which might suggest one of two options: a)
preg_replace is utf-8 ready or b) mbstring functionality doesn't support a
function for preg_replace... I know this might not be a too helpful comment,
but I tried my best...
Thanks, Shimi. It seems that preg_replace does not work on multibyte
(utf-8) strings because that would be too slow. I'm looking for an
alternative, and you may have just found it.

It's not that, since preg_replace has a modifier for utf-8 (u). The
problem seems to be detecting the boundaries (\b). Since (a simpler and
not perfect or similar functionality, e.g: not working on line endings)
the following works:
$test=preg_replace('/([^\s]+)כ(\W)/Uu', '$1ך$2', $test);
