I guess it is design. I think some operations are faster, if you count
bytes instead of characters. There could be an option to allow mawk
count characters, though.
** Description changed:
$ echo ä | mawk '{print length($0)}'
- outputs 2. I expect 1.
+ outputs 2. I expect 1.
$ echo äo | mawk '{print match($0,"o")}'
outputs 3. I expect 2.
Probably this is due to the internal representation of UTF-8 characters;
- mawk counts bytes instead of characters.
+ mawk counts bytes instead of characters. gawk works similarly, if -b
+ option is used.

Title:
mawk counts characters incorrectly

Probably this is due to the internal representation of UTF-8
