It would solve for those writing buggy software which ignores part of
the Unicode characters.

On the other hand 100% of them would be solved correctly, for all
Unicode characters by using LCLProc.UTF8CharacterLength

http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/lclproc/utf8characterlength.html

With this routine you can safely iterate through all characters of a
utf-8 string.
