Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

The string length is considered correct if the string uses Latin characters. However, if the string contains Cyrillic characters, each such character is counted as two.

Hey @kovdmit, what's happening here is that Zed is actually calculating the bytes in the selection and not the characters, which is why your characters are showing as 2. We probably should do something here to signal bytes, rather than characters, or change it to true characters.
