Hi,
In nix, when finding the length of a string containing non-ascii characters,
the number of bytes in the representation is returned, instead of the actual
number of characters:
> nix-repl> builtins.stringLength "å"
> 2
Is there any way to get the number of characters instead, or does this
require changes in the core language?
Best Regards,
