How to get the size of Chinese characters on Ruby

We usually get the length of a string by length method. But it is not the correct result of the string which composites of chinese charaters because the chinese charaters will take 2 space for each. On the other side, one more method bytesize of String, will return the3, the bytes length of the string.

"abc123){*~".bytesize #=>10
"あああ".bytesize #=>9

So, I define a function to get the result I want:

def kanjisize(string)
  sring.each_char.map{|c| c.bytesize == 1 ? 1 : 2}.reduce(0, &:+)
end

and make it as a monkey patch of String with the path of lib/core_extensions/string/kanji_size.rb:

module CoreExtensions
  module String
    module KanjiSize
    	def kanjisize
    	  self.each_char.map{|c| c.bytesize == 1 ? 1 : 2}.reduce(0, &:+)
    	end
    end
  end
end

String.send(:include, CoreExtensions::String::KanjiSize)

"abc123){*~".bytesize #=>10
"あああ".bytesize #=>6
