One thing I absolutely love about PHP is the mod_intl which is almost always enabled everywhere. It provides ICU Transliterator and BreakIterator which is godsand to handle user-create content that's in Asian, Complex Script, etc. Last I check a few year ago Java is the only other platform with as good ICU integration, and nodejs has BreakIterator but not Transliterator. Other platform require complex setup to install ICU as a third party library.
