Kyle Smith's utf8.lua with some extra functions
-- $Id: utf8.lua 179 2009-04-03 18:10:03Z pasta $
--
-- Provides UTF-8 aware string functions implemented in pure lua:
-- * string.utf8len(s)
-- * string.utf8sub(s, i, j)
-- * string.utf8reverse(s)
-- * string.utf8char(unicode)
-- * string.utf8unicode(s, i, j)
-- * string.utf8gensub(s, sub_len)
--
-- If utf8data.lua (containing the lower<->upper case mappings) is loaded, these
-- additional functions are available:
-- * string.utf8upper(s)
-- * string.utf8lower(s)
--
-- All functions behave as their non UTF-8 aware counterparts with the exception
-- that UTF-8 characters are used instead of bytes for all units.

Does this support string.utf8byte?
