The way UTF-8 works is fixed though, isn’t it? A new Unicode standard should not change that, so as long as the string is UTF-8 encoded, you can determine the character count without needing to have the latest Unicode standard.
Plus in Rust, you can instead use .chars().count()
as Rust’s char type is UTF-8 Unicode encoded, thus strings are as well.
turns out one should read the article before commenting
