    Perl’s chr function returns the character represented by that number in either ascii or unicode.

    Returns the character represented by that NUMBER in the character set. For example, chr(65) is “A” in either ASCII or Unicode, and chr(0x263a) is a Unicode smiley face.

    PHP’s chr function is just for ascii.

    Returns a one-character string containing the character specified by ascii.

    The reason PHP is printing a colon is because an ascii value is between 0 and 255…

    0x263a % 256 = 58
    

    58 in ascii is a colon.
