javascript获取字符的字节长度

function getCharacters(str) {
		var totalByteLength = 0; 
		var i; 
		var charCode; 
		for (i = 0; i < str.length; i++) { 
		charCode = str.charCodeAt(i); 
		if (charCode < 0x007f) {//0x0000 - 0x007F:1字节 
		totalByteLength += 1;
		} else if ((0x0080 <= charCode) && (charCode <= 0x07ff)) {//0x0080 - 0x07FF:2字节
		totalByteLength += 2; 
		} else if ((0x0800 <= charCode) && (charCode <= 0xffff)) {//0x0800 - 0xFFFF:3字节
		totalByteLength += 3; 
		}else if((0x010000 <= charCode) && (charCode <= 0x10FFFF)){ //此分支基本用不上//0x010000 - 0x10FFFF:4字节
		   totalByteLength += 4;    
		}
	    }
	    alert(totalByteLength);
		return totalByteLength; 
	}
