Utf8 native extension

[d954mas]

I need a utf8 lib, so i build GitHub - starwing/luautf8: a utf-8 support module for Lua and LuaJIT. · GitHub as defold natve exstention.

library:GitHub - d954mas/defold-utf8: utf8 library bindings for defold · GitHub
I use it in html and windows. But it should work everywhere.

Examples

More info read in luautf8.
Many routines are same as Lua’s string module:

• utf8.byte
• utf8.char
• utf8.find
• utf8.gmatch
• utf8.gsub
• utf8.len
• utf8.lower
• utf8.match
• utf8.reverse
• utf8.sub
• utf8.upper
