Erm, latin1 does not have curly quotes, Windows-1252 does. Those are
utf8 quotes AFAICT so 11 is actually right (thats 3 bytes per quote so
that where 11 comes from). If latin1 did have quotes and you used
them you would have gotten the same answer as latin1 is a single byte
encoding. :) I think your terminal tripping you up here.
Postgres also gives the same length:
latin1=# select length('“hello”');
length
--------
11
(1 row)
