A `char` is not a "character" in the common meaning of the
word. There's a more specialized word for "character" as a
visual unit: grapheme. For example

Not true in the language, but the Phobos library does treat char
and ubyte differently because of the multi-ch

As said, the byte count is indeed string.length.
The number of code points can be found by std.range.walkLength,
but be aware it takes O(answer) time to compute.
Example:

import std.range, std.stdio;

The .length property of a string is the number of bytes used to store
the string.
