CodePudding user response：

String indexing with [] is not multibyte-safe. You need to use the mb_XXX functions when processing languages like Arabic.

<?php
$input = "ب";

$remap = [
    "ا" => '200',
    "ب" => '300',
    "ج" => '50',
    "د" => '100',
];

$array = [];
for ($i = 0; $i < mb_strlen($input); $i  ) {
    $c = mb_substr($input, $i, 1);
    $array[] = $remap[$c];
}
$star = "(" . implode(',', $array) . ")";
echo $star;
