+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Interface for the UTF-8 Unicode encoding form. These routines provides
+ * applications full UTF-8 and Unicode support. It supports UTF-8 encoding
+ * to and decoding from myriad of other character encodings.

+ * SilcStringEncoding bin_encoding,
+ * unsigned char *utf8, SilcUInt32 utf8_size);

+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Encodes the string `bin' of which encoding is `bin_encoding' to the
+ * UTF-8 encoding into the buffer `utf8' which is of size of `utf8_size'.
+ * Returns the length of the UTF-8 encoded string, or zero (0) on error.
+ * By default `bin_encoding' is ASCII, and the caller needs to know the
+ * encoding of the input string if it is anything else.
