For any UTF8 string, we have four "lengths":
- the length in codepoints:
perl -C63 -MDevel::Peek -Mutf8 -le '$_="(\x{5fcd} Guimarăes)"; Dump($_
+); print length($_); print'
SV = PV(0x8154b00) at 0x8153bd4
REFCNT = 1
FLAGS = (POK,pPOK,UTF8)
PV = 0x8170460 "(\345\277\215 Guimar\303\243es)"\0 [UTF8 "(\x{5fcd}
+Guimar\x{e3}es)"]
CUR = 16
LEN = 20
13
(忍 Guimarăes)
- the length in graphemes (the "a" is one, the composing "~" is another):
perl -C63 -MDevel::Peek -Mutf8 -MUnicode::Normalize -le '$_="(\x{5fcd}
+ Guimarăes)"; $_ = NFD $_; Dump($_); print length($_); print'
SV = PV(0x8154b00) at 0x8153bd4
REFCNT = 1
FLAGS = (POK,pPOK,UTF8)
PV = 0x816feb8 "(\345\277\215 Guimara\314\203es)"\0 [UTF8 "(\x{5fcd}
+ Guimara\x{303}es)"]
CUR = 17
LEN = 20
14
(忍 Guimarães)
- the length in columns of text used (the string has one wide character):
perl -C63 -MDevel::Peek -Mutf8 -mText::CharWidth=mbswidth -le '$_="(\x
+{5fcd} Guimarăes)"; Dump($_); print mbswidth($_); print'
SV = PV(0x8154b00) at 0x8153bd4
REFCNT = 1
FLAGS = (POK,pPOK,UTF8)
PV = 0x8170460 "(\345\277\215 Guimar\303\243es)"\0 [UTF8 "(\x{5fcd}
+Guimar\x{e3}es)"]
CUR = 16
LEN = 20
14
(忍 Guimarăes)
- the length in bytes of the string (notice I didn't print the string after the encode):
perl -C63 -MDevel::Peek -Mutf8 -mEncode=encode_utf8 -le '$_="(\x{5fcd}
+ Guimarăes)"; Dump($_); print length(encode_utf8 $_)'
SV = PV(0x8154b00) at 0x8153bd4
REFCNT = 1
FLAGS = (POK,pPOK,UTF8)
PV = 0x8170460 "(\345\277\215 Guimar\303\243es)"\0 [UTF8 "(\x{5fcd}
+Guimar\x{e3}es)"]
CUR = 16
LEN = 20

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
