How to calculate characters in a string

You can use the length property.

Const word = "apple"; console.log (word.length) / / 5

But for Chinese, this method is not very reliable.

Const word = "?" Console.log (word.length) / / 2

Japanese Kanji? The return length is 2. Why? JS represents most characters as 16-bit code points. However, some characters are represented as two (or more) 16-bit code points, called proxy pairs. If you are using the length attribute, JS tells you how many code points are used. Therefore, hokke consists of two code points and returns the wrong value.

Then how to judge, using the deconstruction operation symbol (.)

Const word = "?" Const characters = [... word] console.log (characters.length) / / 1

This method works in most cases, but there are some extreme cases. For example, if you use emoticons, sometimes this length is wrong. If you really want to calculate the correct length of a character, you must decompose the word into Grapheme Clusters, which is beyond the scope of this article, and is not explained here.
