The content stored in file/array are character encoding values and the
actual characters or images (glyphs) showed on the screen are
completely differ (in value and count) from that codes.  Because,
glyphs are shown after rendering encoded values by rendering engines
(like Pango). Please check the pango lib[1], it may provide some
useful function for this.
