Finding the length of a string in JavaScript is simple, you use the .length property and that’s it, right? Not so fast. The “length” of a string may not be exactly what you expect. It turns out that the string length property is the number of code units in the string, and not the number of characters (or more specifically graphemes) as we might expect. For example; "😃" has a length of 2, and "👱‍♂️" has a length of 5!
