For LuaTeX the code should be something like

local function convert_line_out (line)
  local line_out = ''
  for p, c in unicode.utf8.codes(line) do
     line_out = line_out .. c
  end
  return line_out
end

callback.register("process_output_buffer", convert_line_out)


but I can't get it to work. It outputs:

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.87.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev)
(./aaa.texi (./texinfo.tex Loading texinfo [version 2016-01-07.22]: pdf,
fonts, markup, glyphs, page headings, tables, conditionals, indexing,
sectioning, toc, environments, defuns, macros, cross references, insertions,

This is `epsf.tex' v2.7.4 <14 February 2011>
) localization, formatting, and turning on texinfo input format.) (./aaa.toc)

and hangs. I have no knowledge of Lua so am probably missing something
simple. Experimenting I found utf8.char would hang and utf8_char (the
alias declared earlier in the file) doesn't - I don't know what that
indicates.
