Autodecode - I've suffered under that, too. The solution was

import std.array : array;

import std.uni : byCodePoint, byGrapheme;
import std.utf : byCodeUnit;
void main() {
string first = "á";
writefln("%d", first.length); // prints 2
auto firstCU = "á".byCodeUnit; // type is `ByCodeUnitImpl` (!)
writefln("%d", firstCU.length); // prints 2
auto firstGr = "á".byGrapheme.array; // type is `Grapheme[]`
writefln("%d", firstGr.length); // prints 1
auto firstCP = "á".byCodePoint.array; // type is `dchar[]`
writefln("%d", firstCP.length); // prints 1
dstring second = "á";
writefln("%d", second.length); // prints 1 (That was easy!)

And this has what to do with autodecoding?
Welcome to my world!
TBH, it looks like you're just confused about how Unicode works.
None of that is something particular to D. You should probably
address your concerns to the Unicode Consortium. Not that they
care.
