I am. However, I've assumed that one character = one wchar_t, and there are no prefix/suffix non-printable characters.
However, I'm speaking about encodings where character size may vary depending on a character. Like using utf-8 internally.
All string operations (even benign ones like calculating number of characters) become much more complex, instead of O(1) mapping between character index (in characters) and character offset (in bytes or words), we have O(N).
