Hi there,
I am intending to get the length of an UTF-8 string which contains
some Japanese characters (let's say, rstr) in R language.
I try to use the nchar(rstr) to get its length, however, it returns
the "NA" for it contains some multi-byte characters.
Is there any alternatives to return the length of this rstr?
Use a UTF-8 locale, then nchar() will get it right.
Or convert it to the Japanese locale on your system, and use nchar in that
locale.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Please do: we are missing the 'at a minimum' information needed to answer
this question. Locales do matter.
