No opinion here, but I did happen to see Noriyoshi Shinoda's slides
about this topic a little while ago, comparing different databases:

https://www.slideshare.net/noriyoshishinoda/postgresql-unconference-29-unicode-ivs

It's the same with Latin combining characters... we count the
individual codepoints of combining sequences:

postgres=# select 'e' || U&'\0301', length('e' || U&'\0301');
?column? | length
----------+--------
é | 2
(1 row)
