#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

size_t al_ustr_length(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us)

like, that's the whole vibe. one function, one string, one number. periodt 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically? al_ustr_length hands you back the number of code points in the string. that's it. that's the function. it counts the code points and returns them as a size_t and you go "slay, thank you" 🦋

not bytes, bestie — code points. iykyk, that distinction is doing main character energy fr fr ✨
