I use ksh88 and serveral ksh93 versions on Solaris and OpenSolaris.
The problem in my case seems to be, that ${#varname} counts bytes per design and not characters. If you are in a single byte locale, like iso-8859, then everything is fine, because every character uses exactly one byte.
Get me right, I don't think, this is a bug. I am just asking, if someone is aware of a construct in kornshell 88 or at least 93, that counts characters in every scenario.
Hi guys, I hope you can help me with my problem.

locale
LOCALE(1) Linux User Manual LOCALE(1)NAME
locale - get locale-specific information
SYNOPSIS
locale [option]
locale [option] -a
locale [option] -m
locale [option] name...
DESCRIPTION
The locale command displays information about the current locale, or all locales, on standard output.
When invoked without arguments, locale displays the current locale settings for each locale category (see locale(5)), based on the settings
of the environment variables that control the locale (see locale(7)). Values for variables set in the environment are printed without dou-
ble quotes, implied values are printed with double quotes.
If either the -a or the -m option (or one of their long-format equivalents) is specified, the behavior is as follows:
-a, --all-locales
Display a list of all available locales. The -v option causes the LC_IDENTIFICATION metadata about each locale to be included in
the output.
-m, --charmaps
Display the available charmaps (character set description files). To display the current character set for the locale, use locale
-c charmap.
The locale command can also be provided with one or more arguments, which are the names of locale keywords (for example, date_fmt, ctype-
class-names, yesexpr, or decimal_point) or locale categories (for example, LC_CTYPE or LC_TIME). For each argument, the following is dis-
played:
* For a locale keyword, the value of that keyword to be displayed.
* For a locale category, the values of all keywords in that category are displayed.
When arguments are supplied, the following options are meaningful:
-c, --category-name
For a category name argument, write the name of the locale category on a separate line preceding the list of keyword values for that
category.
For a keyword name argument, write the name of the locale category for this keyword on a separate line preceding the keyword value.
This option improves readability when multiple name arguments are specified. It can be combined with the -k option.
-k, --keyword-name
For each keyword whose value is being displayed, include also the name of that keyword, so that the output has the format:
keyword="value"
The locale command also knows about the following options:
-v, --verbose
Display additional information for some command-line option and argument combinations.
-?, --help
Display a summary of command-line options and arguments and exit.
--usage
Display a short usage message and exit.
-V, --version
Display the program version and exit.
FILES
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
Usual default locale archive location.
/usr/share/i18n/locales
Usual default path for locale definition files.

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
$ locale date_fmt
%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y
$ locale -k date_fmt
date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"
$ locale -ck date_fmt
LC_TIME
date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"
$ locale LC_TELEPHONE

$ locale -k LC_TELEPHONE
tel_int_fmt="+%c (%a) %l"
tel_dom_fmt="(%a) %l"
int_select="11"
int_prefix="1"
telephone-codeset="UTF-8"
The following example compiles a custom locale from the ./wrk directory with the localedef(1) utility under the $HOME/.locale directory,
then tests the result with the date(1) command, and then sets the environment variables LOCPATH and LANG in the shell profile file so that
the custom locale will be used in the subsequent user sessions:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/.locale
$ I18NPATH=./wrk/ localedef -f UTF-8 -i fi_SE $HOME/.locale/fi_SE.UTF-8
$ LOCPATH=$HOME/.locale LC_ALL=fi_SE.UTF-8 date
$ echo "export LOCPATH=$HOME/.locale" >> $HOME/.bashrc
$ echo "export LANG=fi_SE.UTF-8" >> $HOME/.bashrc
