That's something like:
long utf8_offset_to_pointer(char *str, long offset) {
	iconv_t conv = iconv_open("wchar_t","utf-8");
	size_t sin = strlen(str), sout = offset * sizeof(wchar_t);
	wchar_t *out = malloc(sout), *_out = out;
	iconv(conv, &str, &sin, (char**)&_out, &sout);
	free(out);
	iconv_close(conv);
	return str;
}

It is at least version 36 now.

There is libunicode too, I don't know how better (or worse) it might be.
