Note also that the reverse of a UTF-8 encoded string can in general
-<emphasis>not</emphasis> be obtained by <function>g_strreverse()</function>.
+<emphasis>not</emphasis> be obtained by g_strreverse().
This works only if the string doesn't contain any multibyte characters.
-Glib doesn't currently offer a function to reverse UTF-8 encoded strings.
