I did.

It includes some functions for japanese,but some functions are not 
only for japanese.
For example, this module supports encoding conversion functionality between
Unicode and some other encodings like ISO-8859-X.
Currently, it includes encoding conversion filter for japanese and ISO-8859-X,
but it is relatively easy task to add another conversion filter for some other
language.

I believe this module is small step for PHP internationalization.
I think the name 'jstring' is right name now because it is existing
for japanese string function now.
But  'i18n' or 'wchar' or 'i18n-ja' are also the candidate for the name.
