+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libutf8_encode_measure ()
+function returns the number of bytes required to encode

+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libutf8_encode_measure ()
+function returns the number of bytes required to encode
+.IR codepoint ,

+This value cannot exceed 6, and does not exceed 4 for
+codepoint less or equal to
+.BR LIBUTF8_ULTIMATE_CODEPOINT (3).
