OK.

Yes, they'll work fine.

Yes.

strtok, strsep, strchr, strrchr, strpbrk, strspn, and strcspn will all
work just fine on UTF-8 strings as long as the separator characters
you're looking for are ASCII.

strstr always works on UTF-8, and can be used in place of strchr to
search for single non-ascii characters or longer substrings.
