function Getzimu($str) 
{ 
    $str= iconv("UTF-8","gb2312", $str);//如果程序是gbk的，此行就要註釋掉 
    if (preg_match("/^[\x7f-\xff]/", $str)) 
    { 
        $fchar=ord($str{0}); 
        if($fchar>=ord("A") and $fchar<=ord("z") )return strtoupper($str{0}); 
        $a = $str; 
        $val=ord($a{0})*256+ord($a{1})-65536; 
        if($val>=-20319 and $val<=-20284)return "A";
