well... depends on what you mean by "double".
Unicode strings are composed of wide characters (type wchar_t) which
are two bytes under most implementations (but this is not a requirement
-- they could be 4 bytes or longer). So the ending null is still just
"one" character (however many bytes that is).
For example sizeof(L"abc") =3D=3D 8. That's four characters, including the
terminating null, each of which is two bytes wide (in BeOS Intel,
wchar_t is a typedef for unsigned short).
