  }

  return length.value
}

Response

{ "returnValue": 12 }

Length is counted in UTF-16 code units, like JavaScript’s String.length. Characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, such as most emoji, count as 2. "👋" has a length of 2.

If of isn’t a string, length returns -1 instead of an error.
