mysqlpp::String does not do any data conversion. Therefore, you will
get a count of the raw UTF-8 bytes, not the number of Unicode
characters. You will need to use something like std::wstring to store
a "widened" version of the string, and count the characters that way.
I've added a Wishlist item to make this easier within MySQL++.
