I think either of those two will work:
:'{,'}s/./&/gn
or even:
:echo eval(join(map(getline("'{", "'}"),
\ 'len(split(v:val, ''\zs''))'), '+'))
Those two won't include the line-ending bytes when counting (as g<C-G>
does. If you need this, you can possibly also map something using the
line2byte() function:
:echo line2byte(line("'}")) - line2byte(line("'{")+1)
