String Functions and the UTF8 Character Set
For the UTF8 character set, the character data is multi-byte string and the actual number of bytes for the data could be more than the number of characters. If the output buffer for any string operation is not sufficiently large to hold the multi-byte string, the result will be truncated at a character boundary.
