      6.6.6 RIGHTB
      Summary: Return a selected number of text characters from the right, using byte position.

      This description fails to indicate what happens in the likely situation that the selected bytes do not form a complete character sequence. Should that be an error or move to a correct position?

      Similarly for the otehr ...B functions
