I'm not an expert on this, but doing a little digging I see some links on calculating utf-8 character sizes and it seems like a lookup table is not necessary:
http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2008-06-05-faster-utf8-strlen.html "by looking at the first byte of a multibyte character, we can determine the length of the character: If the first byte is between 0xC0 and 0xDF, the UTF-8 character has two bytes; if it is between 0xE0 and 0xEF, the UTF-8 character has 3 bytes; and if it is 0xF0 and 0xFF, the UTF-8 character has 4 bytes."
