Function: utf8-string-length string

Returns the number of characters of utf-8 encoded string.

Function: utf8-substring string start #!optional end

Returns the portion of string, encoded in utf-8, starting at character number start and ending at the character before end (or the end of the string if end is not given). All indices start at zero.
