Advanced tools
Divide ligature letters, such as Thai, Khmer letters and some emoji, that deform or combine glyphs depending on the position of characters into the minimum unit parts, graphemes.
It can also be used for strings containing characters other than ligatures, like alphabets and Japanese.
$ npm install split-graphemes
Use splitGraphemes(str) instead of Array.from(str) to separate character strings into character units.
// An emoji '👨👩👦👦' consists of 4 people face emoji joined by Zero Width Joiners (ZWJ).
// This emoji is divided into 7 letters.
const chars = Array.from('👨👩👦👦') // ['👨', ZWJ, '👩', ZWJ, '👦', ZWJ, '👦']
// It is interpreted exactly as one character!
const chars = splitGraphemes('👨👩👦👦') // ['👨👩👦👦']
// It is interpreted as 8 characters.
const chars = Array.from('ប៉ុស្ដិ៍') // ['ប', '៉', 'ុ', 'ស', '្', 'ដ', 'ិ', '៍']
const chars = splitGraphemes('ប៉ុស្ដិ៍') // ['ប៉ុស្ដិ៍']
