I think that's what string_to_array(..., null) already does:

SHOW server_encoding;
server_encoding
UTF8

WITH
 t0(s) AS (SELECT text 'verlorn ist daz slüzzelîn'),
 t1(a) AS (SELECT string_to_array(s, null) FROM t0)
SELECT
 char_length(s), octet_length(convert_to(s, 'UTF8')),
 array_length(a,1), a
FROM
 t0, t1;

char_length|octet_length|array_length|a
25|27|25|{v,e,r,l,o,r,n," ",i,s,t," ",d,a,z," ",s,l,ü,z,z,e,l,î,n}
