Yes, it is.

No, there is not. You have to manually import it from the C library.  
You can look at rtl/unix/cwstring.pp to see the declaration of this  
function for various platforms (note that it's mbrlen() in most cases  
-- that one is preferable to mblen() because mblen() is not thread- 
safe).
