I have a simple question: Is there a way to do a strlen()-like count of characters in zero-terminated char16_t array?

c++11 strlen char16-t

Use pointers :), create a duplicate pointer to the start, then loop through it while (*endptr++);, then the length is given by endptr - startptr. You can actually template this, however, its possible the the compile won't generate the same intrinsic code it does for strlen(for different sizes ofc).
