Let’s say I’m writing a program that strips combining characters and grapheme extenders from an input string.
For combining marks, I’m looking for any non-combining marks (e.g. `a`) followed by one or more combining marks (e.g. `̃`), and then I remove everything but the non-combining mark (e.g. leaving only `a`). Is this a correct approach? What should the approach be for grapheme extenders? Should the program only look for `Grapheme_Base` characters followed by `Grapheme_Extend` characters (which includes the code points in `Other_Grapheme_Extend`)? _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
