Returns the number of bytes in a feed attribute or string.
Intended mainly for languages that don't use a Latin character set, such as Japanese and Chinese. If the string or feed attribute is in a language that uses a Latin, single-byte character set, such as English, string_len_byte returns the same value as length.
Note: This function is only available in Templates and can't be used in reporting.
