You can't just assume UTF-8

There's Intl.Segmenter now which does Unicode Segmentation to count the amount of graphemes for example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Though you are right in that I don't know of a built-in way to count Unicode Scalar Values (USVs).

JavaScript’s recently added implementation of String[Symbol.iterator] iterates through Unicode characters. So for example, [...str] will split any string into a list of Unicode scalar values.
