Sorry for my previous post, seems that sending a mail containing chinese character cause some problems, here is the original post, i hosted the image with the code externally to solve this problem...
Hello, I moved to china some 3 months ago and now that I'm starting to
speak the language I'm also starting writing programs that have to
operate on strings containing chinese character and i noticed that the
string functions behaves in a strange way:

seems that every chinese character is counted twice. That was not a
problem since all the string functions behaves like this and their
results are then compatible but I was interested in the reason behind
this results, I guess it is somehow related to the code used to
represent them but I'd like to know a precise explanation!
Thank in advice for the help and sorry for the grammar mistakes i probably made but english is not my motherlanguage!
p.s.
I hope chinese character works fine on the mailing list or this post will look quite messed up...
