This can be problematic absent a library for handling such characters.
For UTF-8 chars, I've yet to hit a problem using the utf-8.lua library
with either Lua 5.1.x or 5.2.x.
<http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/utf8>. Written in pure Lua, it
provides UTF-8 aware substitutes for string.len, string.sub,
string.reverse, string.upper, and string.lower. There are other
solutions. See generally, <http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUnicode>.
