Yes, but I am not interested in the number of bytes, I would like to  
know the number of characters, which is not the same thing.  
Räksmörgås is ten characters but is reported as 13 bytes since åäö  
are stored as multi-byte characters. I use the Statistics for  
Document  / Selection (word count) command from the Text Bundle and  
the ruby script uses wc -l for statistics, which is not Unicode aware  
AFAIK.
