Is there any API count offset by characters(including Chinese) instead of bytes ?

Hi, I'm trying to use Jieba.Cut(text, result) here, but the result shows that, it counts offsets by bytes, not unicode characters. My text content have Chinese and English characters mixed, so I wonder is there any way to make it ? thanks for your great work!

Would it be OK to just use vector<cppjieba::Word>::iterator to go through the words, count and assign the "sequence number" you want? If you are using this char offset to evaluate proximity, then I think this number does not have to be very precise.
