How can I get the real length of Japanese string?
For example, the length() function would return the bytes length, not the actual length.
s = "";
alert(s.length); // '2'
Is there any way to get the real length which is in this case 1?

@Jonasw even `s.split("").length` also giving `2` only – Mr.7 Sep 30 '16 at 07:57

@Mr.7 That question wants the number of bytes in a specified encoding. What is wanted here is the number of unicode characters. – Dan D. Sep 30 '16 at 09:05
