Hi!
The documentation page of the "strlen" function has a note:
*strlen()* returns the number of bytes rather than the number of characters
in a string.
Also in the "See also" section there is a reference to "mb_strlen()" which
should be used when working with multibyte strings.

Hello Mailing List,
I found that strlen is often considered as a function that counts
characters in strings, rather than bytes. Such mistake is even often
seen on blogs or tutorials, so many PHP beginners may get confused when
they try to strlen a multi-byte characters string.
I am attaching
