+.Sh CAVEATS
+The return value of
+.Fn u8len
+does not necessarily represent the number of human-preceived characters
+in the given buffer;
+multiple codepoints may combine to form one human-preceived character
+that spans a single column.
+To count user-preceived codepoints
+.Pq also known as graphemes ,
+you may want to use the
+.Xr u8glen 3
+function.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn u8next
+function decodes the first rune in the UTF-8 encoded string pointed to by
+.Fa s
+of length
+.Fa n
+and stores the result in
+.Fa ch .
+It then updates
+.Fa s
+to point to the next codepoint in the buffer and updates the length
+.Fa n
+accordingly.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn u8prev
+function takes a pointer
+.Fa start
+which points to the start of the string instead of a length,
+and updates
+.Fa s
+to point to the previous codepoint in the buffer.
+The rune
+.Fa ch
+is set to UTF-8 codepoint pointed to by
+.Fa s
+after iteration.
+.Pp
+Both of these functions set
+.Va *ch
+to
+.Dv RUNE_ERROR
+in the case of invalid UTF-8.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn u8next
+and
+.Fn u8prev
+functions return the length of the UTF-8-encoded rune iterated over in

+or 0 at the end of iteration.

+The following example is the same as the previous,
