> "\x[111c2,111c4]".chars 2 The above is erroneous: these two codepoints make up a single extended grapheme cluster. U+111c2 "Sharada sign jihvamuliya" has the property Indic_Syllabic_Category=Consonant_Prefixed, which per UAX #29 makes it a Grapheme_Cluster_Break=Prepend, which means that it falls under rule GB9b, so there should not be an extended grapheme cluster break following it (except when what follows is a control character or end of text). Strangely, the rule about Prepend characters doesn't seem to be being entirely ignored. It is taking effect if the following character is also a Prepend: > "\x[111c2,111c3]".chars 1 -zefram
