#9055: mb_strcut in wp_html_excerpt seems to count bytes (not characters).  Use
mb_substr instead?

Comment:

 We have a pure php implementation of {{{mb_strcut}}} and if we use
 {{{mb_substr()}}}, we'll need it implemented too for installs, without the
 mbstring extension.

 I now remembered, that in the beginning we used {{{mb_strcut()}}}, because
 we needed to limit database fields, which are counted in bytes. However,
 now we are using it only in {{{wp_html_excerpt}}} in which case
 {{{mb_substr()}}} really makes more sense.
