So basically the above just doesn't work. Prints gibberish.
Because you're printing one UTF-8 code unit (`char`) per line.
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.<????>);
}
You're looking for `c[]`. But that won't work, because std.uni
apparently doesn't recognize those as grapheme clusters. The emojis may
be too new. std.uni is based on Unicode version 6.2, which is a couple
years old.
Oops! I didn't realize this, ignore my message about reporting a bug.
I still think it's very odd for printing a grapheme to print the data
structure.
