Solutions

Solution 1: Using CHAR_LENGTH Function

The CHAR_LENGTH() function returns the length of a string, where Chinese characters, numbers, and letters are all counted as $1$ byte.

The LENGTH() function returns the length of a string, where under utf8 encoding, Chinese characters are counted as $3$ bytes, while numbers and letters are counted as $1$ byte; under gbk encoding, Chinese characters are counted as $2$ bytes, while numbers and letters are counted as $1$ byte.

For this problem, we can directly use the CHAR_LENGTH function to get the length of the string, and filter out the tweet IDs with a length greater than $15$.
