I think you want to use codePointCount() to count the Unicode code points.
length() returns Unicode code units.

As http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html explains:

In the J2SE API documentation, Unicode code point is used for character
values in the range between U+0000 and U+10FFFF, and Unicode code unit is
used for 16-bit char values that are code units of the UTF-16 encoding.
