RE: [xml] Skipping non Latin-1 UTF-8 chars (was: How do I read German Umlaute - entities from anXML-File using libxml?)

Yes, the routine answers the question "What is the memory address of the 
'n'th UTF8 character within the given string".  Sorry if the name is a bit 
confusing - when I wrote it, I was hard-pressed to avoid a name clash with 
other well-known string routines.

I looked at that and from the description didn't think it does what I need.
 The pos value is the number of chars to skip?  if utf points to the start
of a UTF-8 character and I use a pos of 1 it will return a pointer to the
second character (or NULL)?

Yes, not re-inventing the wheel was the entire point of this question.
