For starters unless $_POST is only a single character ord() will not work.
Secondly it only returns ascii values. http://www.asciitable.com/ I assume the characters you would be using are in the utf-8 spec.

There are some functions posted in the manual: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ord.php that seem to indicate utf-8 compatibility.
