字素簇

Technical/Unicode

用户感知到的单个字符单位，可能由多个Unicode码位组合而成，但显示为单一视觉元素。

A grapheme cluster is what a user sees as "one character" on screen, even though it may be encoded as several code points. This concept is crucial for emoji because many emoji are composed of multiple code points.

For example, a flag emoji like 🇰🇷 is two Regional Indicator code points. A person emoji with skin tone like 👍🏽 is two code points (the gesture + a modifier). ZWJ sequences can combine even more.

Programming languages differ in how they handle grapheme clusters. JavaScript's `.length` counts UTF-16 code units, so `'👨‍👩‍👧'.length` returns 8, not 1. Proper grapheme-aware APIs (like `Intl.Segmenter`) return the expected count of 1.
