Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 > Switching to non-mb_* string functions. The rest of the shortcode code
 doesn't use them, so maybe they aren't necessary.

 Just noting this should ideally be tested with `mbstring.func_overload =
 2` PHP setting, as it is known to have caused some issues in the past:
 #16057, #18007, #25061, #25259, #28162, #38226, #46050, etc.

 It is [https://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.overload.php deprecated as
 of PHP 7.2], but may still occur in the wild.
