Lua strings are 8-bits clean and can embed `\0`. Which means that invalid UTF-8/16 strings are valid Lua strings. Lua functions like `string.dump` even use strings as a way of storing binary data.
-To address that issue, Lua strings are represented by an array of bytes in Fengari. To push a JS string on the stack you can use `lua_pushliteral`. To get a Lua string on the stack as a JS string you can use `lua_tojsstring`.
+To address that issue, Lua strings are represented by an array of bytes in Fengari. To push a JS string on the stack you can use `lua_pushliteral` which will convert it to an array of bytes before pushing it. To get a Lua string on the stack as a JS string you can use `lua_tojsstring` which will attempt to convert it to a UTF-16 JS string. The latter won't give you what you expect if the Lua string is not a valid UTF-16 sequence.
