StringCompletion.completeUtf8

Warning g_completion_complete_utf8 has been deprecated since version 2.26 and should not be used in newly-written code. Rarely used API Attempts to complete the string prefix using the GCompletion target items. In contrast to g_completion_complete(), this function returns the largest common prefix that is a valid UTF-8 string, omitting a possible common partial character. You should use this function instead of g_completion_complete() if your items are UTF-8 strings. Since 2.4
