This used to be an option:

dchar val = ...;
char[4] buf;
toUTF8(buf, val);

Now I'm getting an error. Looking at the doc, it seems that there are only option returning a string, which I assume is allocated on the GC. Has the function moved somewhere else ? If not, what's going on ?

This std.utf.toUTF8 overload was deprecated in 2.074.0 and finally removed in 2.077.0:

Do you have deprecation messages turned on?

Yes, but I skipped a few version.

encode as proposed indeed does the job, so no problem.

Thanks everybody.
