in reply to Re^2: The “real length" of UTF8 strings
in thread The “real length" of UTF8 strings

You're right, the correlation between visual length and the actual number of characters is weak, and maybe only font dependent...

But when I print these strings with both chinese and ASCII characters using the mysql command (SELECT * FROM...), it prints an array on stdout and is absolutely not confused with the visual and character lengths.

That's why I think the solution must exist ^_^*
