clear warning that this does not show the string length as you would normally understand it. Because I fell into it, not reading the edit since you just quickly copy and paste such a clear code statement.

Oct 3, 2018 at 15:14 comment added Tjaden Hess I would argue that byte-length is the more important metric in most cases, since length in encodings like utf-8 is still upper-bounded by byte length. It seems rather arbitrary to assume that OP is using utf8 or any other particular encoding.
Oct 2, 2018 at 20:19 comment added Symeof This answer should be edited to include Alexey's comment. bytes(str).length does NOT give the intended behavior in some cases, so it must be used with caution.
