Unicode functions for Lua

Sorry if this has already been asked, but Lua's in-built string functions (such as string.len and string.sub) don't work very well with unicode characters, so are there any alternatives which do?

There are various libraries available that do this, for example: https://github.com/alexander-yakushev/awesompd/blob/master/utf8.lua. Also, Lua 5.3+ supports some of utf8-related functions out of the box: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#6.5
