6,. Safe for display, not for storage. - Legacy encodings. π sits above U+FFFF, so it needs a surrogate pair in UTF-16. Software that counts characters by code unit will report it as two.
- Size. 4 bytes in UTF-8. Character-limited fields β SMS, bios, some form validators β usually count bytes, not characters.
