URL Slug Generator (UTF-8 safe)
Convert any string into a clean URL-safe slug. Transliterates accented characters to ASCII, lowercases, replaces non-alphanumerics with dashes, and collapses runs of dashes. Works on UTF-8 input out of the box.
PHP
Word Count (UTF-8 aware)
Count words in a string in a way that works for any Unicode script — including those without ASCII whitespace. Built on the \p{L}\p{N} Unicode regex categories.
PHP
Truncate Text with Ellipsis (word-safe)
