You seem to be using some multibyte character encoding, probably UTF-8. You must explicitly tell this to Zend_Validate so that it works correctly:

$validator->setEncoding("UTF-8");

Or you can do it while creating validator object:

$validator = new Zend_Validate_StringLength(
    array('min' => 6, 'max' => 20, 'encoding' => 'UTF-8')
);

See Zend_Validate > Encoding of values in Zend Framework manual.
