standard lua string library doesn’t support multi-byte characters. 

e.g. string.len(“č”)

is upgrade to lua 5.3 in corona sdk roadmap? can’t find the roadmap page, https://coronalabs.com/resources/roadmap/ gives 404 

thanks

Yeah, full UTF8 support would be really nice. The lack of it undermines localization efforts.
