For a very long time I thought that utf8 wasn’t in Luau. But then I ended up finding that yes, it does in fact exist. And I didnt do enough research about it.

And now Im wondering how i should be using it Luau, if I should be using it at all. Do i use it how its meant to be used like in Regular Lua?

I get if this is Stupid.

Yeah, I did look at this on Roblox Roblox Documentation and on Luau Documentation, but I’m wondering about how I should be using it in Luau. And if its the exact same as in Lua.

Well, its main usage is for creating special characters in game, such as emojis, without them existing yet.
