=head1 NAME

Encode::UTF8::Slow - A pure Perl, naive UTF-8 encoder/decoder

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Encode::UTF8::Slow qw/bytes_to_codepoint codepoint_to_bytes/;

  my $bytes = codepoint_to_bytes(0x1F4FA); #television

  my $codepoint = bytes_to_codepoint('🗼');

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 codepoint_to_bytes

Takes a Unicode codepoint number and returns a scalar of UTF-8 encoded bytes

for it. Exported on request.

=head2 bytes_to_codepoint

Takes UTF-8 encoded bytes in a scalar and returns the Unicode codepoint for it.

Exported on request.

=head1 WARNING

This is a naive encoder - it doesn't handle UTF-16 pairs, BOM or other

noncharacters like 0xFFFE. It's also very slow!
