Refer to http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/04/26/UTF
         http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/c-unicode.html
         http://www.marin.clara.net/tips/unicode_tips.htm

You can use strcpy and strlen in case of UTF-8, but cannot use in UTF-16, UTF-32 etc.
In Unicode environment, you should use wcscpy and wcslen instead of strcpy and strlen.
