In this task, the goal is to find the <em>byte</em> length of a string. This means encodings like [[UTF-8]] may need to be handled specially, as there is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship between bytes and characters, and some languages recognize this. |
In this task, the goal is to find the <em>byte</em> length of a string. This means encodings like [[UTF-8]] may need to be handled specially, as there is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship between bytes and characters, and some languages recognize this. For example, the character length of "møøse" is 5 but the byte length is 7 in UTF-8 and 10 in UTF-16. |
