How to make the browser displays this hexadecimal value (in GBK)?

Question

If i do echo(0xbf5c); it renders 0xbf5c. But it normally correspond to a chinese letter. How can i make this latter displayed ?

Thanks

Nope, it displays [`48988`](https://3v4l.org/URTUH)... I think you've skipped a few steps there between a number in hex notation and a character. — deceze, Mar 01 '16 at 15:57
try pack("H*" , $hex_string); where $hex_string is your hex string. — Claudio, Mar 01 '16 at 16:15

Split the character into individual bytes and use PHP's \xhh (character with hex code hh) escape character in a double-quoted string:

header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=GBK");
echo "\xbf\x5c";

You won't need the header line if your webserver is already configured to use the GBK charset.
