Use preg_match()

Example :- 

<?php
$subject = "abcdef";
$pattern = '/^def/';
preg_match($pattern, substr($subject,3), $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($matches);
?>

wrt question it will be like :- 

<?php
$string = "で書くタッチイベント B A(フ";
$pattern = '/[a-zA-Z]/';
preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>
