A `char` is not a "character" in the common meaning of the
word. There's a more specialized word for "character" as a
visual unit: grapheme. For

Not true in the language, but the Phobos library does treat char
and ubyte differently because of the

As said, the byte count is indeed string.length.
The number of code points can be found by std.range.walkLength,
but be aware it takes O(answer) time to compute.
Example:

The .length property of a string is the number of bytes used to store
the string.
