Hmm, why?

Valid UTF-8 sequences are context independent, and can't be
subsequences of other valid UTF-8 sequences, so it seems like a simple
string-replace should work fine with them, without any special
handling.

[In some cases, the result may not make sense at a higher level, e.g.,
if context-dependent unicode characters are used, but it should still
be a valid UTF-8 string.]
