ACK.

On the World Wide Web, most certainly you should. US-ASCII is simply
obsolete there, because it hinders more than it helps. The default
character encoding for HTTP/1.0 and later is ISO-8859-1 (which AFAIK is
PHP's default, too), and using UTF-8 or UTF-16 becomes increasingly common
both on the Web and in current operating systems (see e. g. the percent
encoding in RFC 3986 how to handle that). Most recently, IDNs have been
introduced.

PHP is fully equipped to deal with that (through functions), even though it
has no native Unicode string support.

One problem with helping you with your problem is that the term “slashed
zero” actually is _not_ well-defined.
