Grapheme

Grapheme packages handle Unicode grapheme clusters, which are user-perceived characters that may consist of multiple code points. These libraries prevent incorrect string manipulation by accurately counting, splitting, and processing text with complex characters like emojis. They are essential for applications needing precise text handling, especially with diverse language support. Packages exist for languages like Python, JavaScript, and PHP, each offering functions to correctly manage grapheme boundaries. Without these, standard string functions would often misinterpret complex Unicode.
