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]].

The 1994 ANS standard does not have any notion of a particular character encoding, although it distinguishes between character and machine-word addresses. (There is some ongoing work on standardizing an "XCHAR" wordset for dealing with strings in particular encodings such as UTF-8.)

'''Interpreter:''' ANS Forth

The following code will count the number of UTF-8 characters in a null-terminated string. It relies on the fact that all bytes of a UTF-8 character except the first have the the binary bit pattern "10xxxxxx".

binary
: utf8 ( str -- str )
begin
char
dup c@
11000000 and
10000000 <>

[[Category:Java]]

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]]==
[[Category:JavaScript]]

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
