please consider special chars, a little example:

test=*# create table demo(id int, t text);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# insert into demo values (1, '123')
test-# ;
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into demo values (2, '€€€');
INSERT 0 1
test=*# select id, t, length(t), pg_column_size(t) from demo;
id | t | length | pg_column_size
----+-----+--------+----------------
1 | 123 | 3 | 4
2 | €€€ | 3 | 10
