Better Unicode support #34

Closed luke-clifton closed 2 years ago

luke-clifton commented 5 years ago

Would be great if the text type had some good unicode support. Especially for things like iterating over grapheme clusters.

@luke-clifton Luke you were working on an innovative text handling subsystem a while back. Did you ever make any headway on that idea?

istathar commented 3 years ago

I just came across http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unicode-tricks which seems to have some interesting ideas about supporting more complicated Unicode characters. In particular the toUnicodeText / fromUnicodeText design of UnicodeText seems to be similar to the interoperability approach taken in this library.
