| Python by name | \N{THERE DOES NOT EXIST} |
| Java, C# | \u2204 |
| Rust, Swift | \u{2204} |
| Go, C, C++ | \u2204 |
| URL (percent-encoded) | %E2%88%84 |
JavaScript and JSON strings store text as UTF-16, so this character is one code unit long. Python 3 strings count code points, so its length there is 1.

Decomposition
THERE DOES NOT EXIST is canonically equivalent to the sequence below. Normalising text to NFD splits it into these parts; NFC joins them back into U+2204. Search and comparison should normalise first, or the two spellings will not match.
