chars().count() is supposed to return the number of characters in a Unicode string.
I found out that depending on unicode normalization forms, it is not always the case.

See Rust Playground
I get accents as separate characters.

Is this on purpose ? (if so why??)
How do I always get a consistent count of 8 characters for the "kérosène" string ?
