I think you have client_encoding misconfigured.
alvherre=# select length('รก'::text);
length

Umm, but isn't that because your encoding is using one code point?
See the OP's explanation w.r.t. canonical equivalence.
This isn't about the number of bytes, but about whether or not we should
count characters encoded as two or more combined code points as a single
char or not.
