String functions on FME 2024 don't work similarly with FME 2023

I find that the string functions on FME2024 don’t work similarly in FME 2023, in this case, it led to some problems with the outcome as not expected. Example:

I have 2 strings:

  1. “EMD-1”
  2. “ÊMĐ-1”

I use string functions as below:

 

I received 2 outcomes differently:

With the text 1: Count_index = 4

With the text 2: Count_index = 6

It is not right, in FME 2023 the outcome is 4 for both situations.

Is this a bug in FME2024 ?

I imagine it is a bug of sorts. Its very likely due to how FME is handling special characters. Possibly down the the byte level where special chars are being represented as twice the ‘size’ of normal chars, hence two special chars giving a count two higher
