I need to count how many Hebrew characters a given string has. I have been checking, character by character, if the given character is a [א-ת] and if so I simply ++ the counting variable. It turns out that this is rather resouce intensive, and I may need a better way of doing this. I have looked at count_chars and considered writing a wrapper function for each of the 27 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but I am quite sure that there is a cleverer method. Any ideas?
