The above UTF8 example misses some points....
My question was about the want for a construct that allows for accessing

Everybody can write such a subroutine, when really needed. Or use what
the RTL provides for such purpose...
Finding the 100000 th and then independently the 100005 th printable
character needs quite a lot of CPU time, so it would be nice to have a
kind of "enumerator" that (e.g.) in a smart way remembers a set of
(Byte_Position / printable_Character_position) pairs helping to quickly
find the n'th printable character.
I think that you are abusing strings for demonstration purposes only. I
bet that you really wanted the 100001th character, because you made an
mistake while counting characters, or that you missed to organize your
super-long string into smaller pieces (lines, columns...).
