public int ByteCount { get; }

Property Value

Type: Int32

The number of bytes used to store this UTF-8 encoded string, including the null termination character.

Returns 1 if this is an empty string. The 1 byte is used by the null termination character. Note that this property will never return zero.

Remarks
Note that you cannot assume that 1 byte represents 1 character in a UTF-8 encoded string. A UTF-8 encoded character can range between 1 to 6 bytes. An ASCII character will always be 1 byte, but a unicode character will range between 2 and 6 bytes.
