UTF-8 doesn't allocate 3 bytes for a character. ASCII chars use 1 byte,
some chars use 2 bytes, some 4 bytes. "3 bytes for a character" is a rough
guess, and if we go that way we should have a way for the user to adjust
the quotient. "length", in my opinion, is good enough for this - the user
just have to understand that it is the byte length, not characters.
