Struggles to truncate UTF-8

[soundasleep]

Not sure how you could resolve this, but it looks like smart-truncate does not play nicely with UTF-8...

It might be helpful to add a note in the README that it doesn't play nicely with UTF-8.

@soundasleep – Thanks a bunch for reporting this! I apologize for the delayed response!I will try to fix this asap. If you have any ideas on a good approach for handling this, I would love to hear 🍻

I'm not an expert on Javascript strings, but it might depend on what the native format for Javascript strings are (apparently UTF-16-ish?), if there are any libraries to deal with UTF-8 substring (unicode-substring?), and how much performance drop your users are OK with... maybe create a separate smart-truncate-utf8 project, or a separate require(), or just add a note to the README?
