# chars/count Number of codepoints in a string — identical to `len` on strings (kept as an explicit, self-documenting form). `bytes/len` is the byte size. ## Syntax

[chars/count $string]

## Examples

[len "a中c"]          # 3  (same)
[chars/count "a中c"]  # 3
[bytes/len "a中c"]    # 5

## Returns Number. ## See Also `len`, `bytes/len`, `width`, `cells`
