These bytes represent an sequence of unicode characters according to UTF-8. One such character consists of either a single or two bytes. ASCII -only strings than have as many bytes as UTF characters. In the example I made two loop functions loopStringByBytes(s) and loopStringByChars(s) and checked them against a ASCII string and a cyrillic string. You can see that for second string every character occupies 2 bytes. https://play.golang.org/p/DDSpiFuR8Lp <https://play.golang.org/p/DDSpiFuR8Lp> BR, Roland > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/CANODV3nBYmshDLFwUUdnnyVuvpjhWnwBJOb%3DwrZKEHXmtBgbSg%40mail.gmail.com > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
