What modules do I need to be able to use unicode with Lua? (especially parsing of logs).

And is there a way to use both ANSI and Unicode?
Yes, the snlunicode package provides two single-byte modules (ascii and latin1)
as well as two multi-byte modules (utf8 and grapheme) with full support
for all Unicode character classes, upper/lower etc in UTF-8.
Conversion between other Unicode encodings like UTF-16 native/BE/LE/BOM
and UTF-8 is trivial.
As Lisa pointed out, you should avoid UTF-16 like the plague.
