I think we've done something similar a few years ago.

Indeed we have. So let's try something a bit more modern this time:
1. The string encoding is UTF8.
2. The test strings will include non-ascii characters.
3. The routine is passed two parameters
A. A pointer to the UTF8 string
B. The physical length, in bytes, of the UTF8 string.
4. The routine must return the number of characters in the string.

Good idea, I might finally get a chance to figure what's UTF8 ... ;)
