go - How to get the number of characters in a string

Question

How can I get the number of characters of a string in Go?

For example, if I have a string "hello" the method should return 5. I saw that len(str) returns the number of bytes and not the number of characters so len("￡") returns 2 instead of 1 because ￡ is encoded with two bytes in UTF-8.
