Newer versions of wc                                                                    
can differentiate between byte                                                               
and character count.                                                                       
This difference arises with                                                                
Unicode multi- byte characters.                                                            
The desired behaviour is

wc used to be a part of the GNU textutils package.                                                          
It is now part of GNU coreutils.
