Hello, i need get first word letter, i use this function extract_left(1) and cut first letter, but if symbol is like Æ and i cut first letter i have bad value '?' because Æ is made from to symbols and cant get good value. It is another way get first word letter ?

Yes, it is a real problem. This comes from a bug of some php functions that do not support multibytes strings.
You can check the bug here : http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=11481&activeItem=1

We made our own template operator to solve the problem.
