Hi, trying to figure out how to loop through a string of
characters and then spit them back out.
Eg:
foreach (c; "👩👩👦👦🏳️🌈") {
writeln(c);
}
So basically the above just doesn't work. Prints gibberish.
So I figured, std.uni.byGrapheme would help, since that's what
they are, but I can't get it to print them back out? Is there a
way?
foreach (c; "👩👩👦👦🏳️🌈".byGrapheme) {
writeln(c.<????>);
}
And then if I type the loop variable as dchar, then it seems
that the family empji is printed out as 4 faces - so the code
points I guess - and the rainbow flag is other stuff (also its
code points I assume)
Is there a type that I can use to store graphemes and then
output them as a grapheme as well? Or do I have to use like lib
ICU maybe or something similar?
Cheers,

Hehe I guess the forum really is using D :p
The two graphemes I'm talking about (which seem to not be
rendered correctly above) are:
family emoji: https://emojipedia.org/family-woman-woman-boy-boy/
rainbow flag: https://emojipedia.org/rainbow-flag/
