Because functions in Ada.Characters.Handling take not UTF-8 but Latin-1.
You have to
1. convert UTF-8 String to Wide_Wide_String, process UTF-32 and restore it to UTF-8.
(Ada.Characters.Conversion also take Latin-1. You have to use GNAT.Encode_String/Decode_String or Ada.Strings.UTF_Encoding for converting.)
2. search a external library to process UTF-8 directly.
