I found first(str), last(str), and chop(str), but couldn’t find anything for getting a substring where multibyte unicode characters are involved. Something like: substring(str, start, stop) = str[nextind(str, 0, start):nextind(str, 0, stop)] Not sure if anyone else found this surprising. I suppose…

Substring function?
