+# [Get the 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 length of a string](https://www.codewars.com/kata/get-the-length-of-a-string "https://www.codewars.com/kata/599c4b69eb8e49effa000079")
+
+In languages that use [UTF-16 encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16) for strings (JavaScript, JVM languages like Java, .NET
+languages like C#...), if the code point of a character is larger than `0xFFFF`, it will be treated as two code units.
+
+For example:
+
+The code point of the emoji `🙉` (`U+1F649`, *Hear-No-Evil Monkey*) is `0x1F649`.
+
+```java
+"🙉".length(); // 2
+```
+
+Write a function that returns the *real* length of a string.
+
+```
+"abcd" --> 4
+"🙉" --> 1
+"😸🦌🚀" --> 3
+```
