Public bug reported:

In the template file for "inbox" block, we use dwoo modifier "truncate".
It does not care about multibyte character, and results in unnecessary
garbage on the tail of truncated messages.  Please see the attached
image file.

I thins it's good idea to make a multibyte version of "truncate", and
use it in Mahara source.  Please see the following article.
