Unicode.utf8Strncpy

Like the standard C strncpy() function, but copies a given number of characters instead of a given number of bytes. The src string must be valid UTF-8 encoded text. (Use g_utf8_validate() on all text before trying to use UTF-8 utility functions with it.)

Note you must ensure dest is at least 4 * n to fit the largest possible UTF-8 characters
