fi represents one code point (U+FB01), ffl represents one code point
(U+FB04), and viii represents one code point (U+2177).  Now if you count
again, you should count 24.  I'm trying to describe a non-ASCII ACE
string containing 24 code points, some of which are ASCII and some of
which are compatibility characters.
