You're right. I misunderstood the question and did not realize that we are looking for the "visual length".

Well, I think it depends on the font then, doesn't it?

Yes betterworld, I should have choosen a better title like "the visual length of UTF8 strings" instead of the "real length" which leads to confusion.	[reply]

Well, I think it depends on the font then, doesn't it? Maybe, but there are double-width characters that even fixed-width fonts display with the width of two normal characters (like the ones in the OP).	[reply]
