The first sentence of the first paragraph of the "8.3 character types"
of the manual reads:
"SQL defines two primary character types: character varying(n) and
character(n), where n is a positive integer. Both of these types can
store strings up to n characters (not bytes) in length. "

Try asking for the SQL standard
"char_length(string) or character_length(string) int Number of
characters in string char_length('jose')"
or the additional ( but the one which I mostly use )
"length(string) int Number of characters in string"
instead of the SQL standard
"octet_length(string) int Number of bytes in string"
( quoted from the first two tables of 9.4-String functions and operators)
( I suspect length is listed in the standard specifically to avoid
doubts about whether it returns bytes, chars or codepoints or whatever
)
