I don't know of any. The wiki points to
<http://luaforge.net/projects/sln/>. Peter has it in the LuaDist gist
but I don't know if he's accepting patches.
<https://github.com/LuaDist/slnunicode>.

I've been doing pretty well with the pure Lua UTF-8.lua library but
haven't fully exercised it.  You might give it a try.
<http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/utf8>.

The wiki mentions some other resources that I haven't tried near the
bottom of this page. <http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUnicode>.

Best regards,
