BTW, I'm running into this problem while parsing html unicode strings
like Δ to unicode characters in PDFlib.
The following section in the PDFlib manual describes the exact same
problem (I think :) )with a resolution for the C++ binding of PDFlib:
Unicode in the C++ language binding.
C++ users must be aware of a pitfall related to the compiler
automatically converting literal strings to the C++ string type which
is expected by the PDFlib API functions: this conversion supports
embedded null characters
only if an explicit length parameter is supplied. For example, the
following will not work since the string will be truncated at the first
null character:
p.show("\x00\x41\x96\x7B\x8C\xEA"); // Wrong!
To fix this problem apply the string constructor with an explicit
length parameter:
p.show(string("\x00\x41\x96\x7B\x8C\xEA", 6)); // Correct

Description:
------------
Let's say I have a variable $var which contains 94.
Now I want to create the escaped character \x94 from this var. This
seems to be impossible. I've tried all kinds different approaches.
Simply concatenating two strings (single or double quoted). escaping
the \x with \ sprintf()'ing etc. It seems like it's impossible to
create the escaped character from 2 (or more) parts.
At the moment I'm using a dirty fix to overcome this problem:
I have an array like this:
array(
"\\x00"=>"\x00",
"\\x01"=>"\x01",
"\\x02"=>"\x02",
"\\x03"=>"\x03",
etc..
)
with this aray you can perform a strtr(); Which works around the
problem.
