Well, yes, but string handling should be binary-safe in recent versions
of PHP. I use utf-8 a lot, and I never ran into that kind of problems.
The only thing I have to take care of is the fact that some characters
are represented by more than one "character".

That is really strange. I never encountered anything like it. Does it
help (as an ugly workaround) to make it a reference assignment?
Like: $ef['title'] &= $data;

If so, it might help to "clone"-assign it to a non-array (local)
variable first and then "reference"-assign that that local variable to
the $ef['title']

Just curious...
