I get byte_size(string) of 6, not 8

Interactive Elixir (1.13.4) – press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(12)> string = “résumé”
<<114, 0, 115, 117, 109, 0>>
iex(13)> byte_size(string)
6
iex(14)> String.length(string)
6

Hi Víctor,

Are you using the two different versions of that character? (i.e., the single codepoint version and the double codepoint version) If you do, it should work and show false.

“á” == “á”
true
