+Plan 9's libutf, but with a number of improvements:
+
+@itemize
+@item Support for runes beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane.
+@item utflen and utfnlen cannot overflow on 32- or 64-bit machines.
+@item chartorune treats all invalid codepoints as though Runeerror.
+@item fullrune, utfecpy, and utfnlen do not overestimate the length
+of malformed runes.
+@item An extra function, charntorune(p,s,n), equivalent to
+fullrune(s,n) ? chartorune(p,s): 0.
+@item Runeerror may be set to an alternative replacement value, such
+as -1, to be used instead of U+FFFD.
