Incorrect behavior of length(“\0\uff”)

[ScottPJones]

This returns 0, and is not consistent with:
length(“\0q”) -> 2
length(utf16(“\0q”) -> 2
length(utf32(“\0q”) -> 2
length(utf16(“\0\uff) -> 2

I suspect this is the root cause of #10958. Closing as duplicate.

@ScottPJones your editor tries to convert input into smart quotes, which makes it hard to copy-paste code into the REPL for testing.

Also, please look at GitHub's triple-backtick syntax for encasing code snippets.
