It didn't seem like a bug, so it wasn't urgent (and no one ever contacted me about it)

As the manual says, ‣ slnunicode, from the selene libraries, http://luaforge.net/projects/sln. This library has been slightly extended so that the unicode.utf8.* functions also accept the first 256 values of plane 18. This is the range LuaTEX uses for raw binary output, as explained above. We have no plans to provide more like this because you can basically do all that you want in Lua. -- luigi
