characters or bytes?

Hello,

During translating start.sgml - I found a sentence where I am not sure
if it is correct.

tutorial-createdb.html

Second paragraph below the "permission denied to create a database" 
error message there is
the sentence:

" You can also create databases with other names. PostgreSQL allows
you to create any number of databases at a given site. Database names
must have an alphabetic first character and are limited to 63 characters
in length. ..."

Really 63 characters?
Shouldn't it be 63 bytes?

Susanne
