+##### bool string\_pop\_u (string\_unicode\_t *u, string\_t str)
+
+Pop the last unicode code point from the string 'str'
+encoded as a variable UTF8 encoded code point
+and store in '*u' the popped unicode code point if 'u' is not NULL.
+It returns true in case of succes or false otherwise (no character to pop or no valid UTF8).

 ##### size\_t string\_length\_u(string\_t str)
 
 Return the number of UTF8 encoded code point in the string.
