say 'über'
über
..................................... /usr/bin/rexxtry.rex on MACOSX
say 'über'~length
5
..................................... /usr/bin/rexxtry.rex on MACOSX
say 'ß'~length
2
..................................... /usr/bin/rexxtry.rex on MACOSX
So it seems that the single characters are processed as Unicode (?) chars.
