In this task, the goal is to find the <em>character</em> length of a string. This means encodings like [[UTF-8]] need to be handled properly, as there is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship between bytes and characters.

For byte length, see [[String Byte Length]].

Ad hoc program from command line:

or by hand:

int main(void)
{
const char *string = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = 0;
char *p = (char *) string;
while (*p != '\0') length ;

}

or (for arrays of char only)

#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
char const s[] = "Hello, world!";
size_t length = sizeof s - 1;

}

For wide character strings (usually Unicode):

Java encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The most commonly used characters are represented by one 16-bit value, while rarer ones like some mathematical symbols are represented by two.

The length method of String objects gives the number of 16-bit values used to encode a string.
String s = "Hello, world!";
int length = s.length();

Since Java 1.5, the actual number of characters can be determined by calling the codePointCount method.
String str = "\uD834\uDD2A"; //U 1D12A
int length1 = str.length(); //2
int length2 = str.codePointCount(0, str.length()); //1

JavaScript encodes strings in UTF-16, which represents each character with one or two 16-bit values. The most commonly used characters are represented by one 16-bit value, while rarer ones like some mathematical symbols are represented by two.

JavaScript has no built-in way to determine how many characters are in a string. However, if the string only contains commonly used characters, the number of characters will be equal to the number of 16-bit values used to represent the characters.
var str1 = "Hello, world!";
var len1 = str1.length; //13
var str2 = "\uD834\uDD2A"; //U 1D12A represented by a UTF-16 surrogate pair
var len2 = str2.length; //2

or more elaborately, needs '''Interpreter''' any 8.X. Tested on 8.4.12.

fconfigure stdout -encoding utf-8; #So that Unicode string will print correctly
set s1 "hello, world"
set s2 "\u304A\u306F\u3088\u3046"
puts [format "length of \"%s\" in characters is %d" $s1 [string length $s1]]
