After reviewing the prior discussion in #7344 and the implementation attempt in #7350, I found that the current behavior was an intentional design choice: binary inputs are coerced to UTF-8 for `character_length`, while byte-length semantics are expected to be handled separately by functions such as `octet_length`. The earlier discussion also considered keeping `character_length` text-only and distinguishing it from binary length operations. Closing this issue in favor of that existing design discussion. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
