What, you mean that Unicode can be confusing? No way! ;)

LOL. I have to be careful with that too. What bugs me even more though is
that the Unicode spec talks about code points being characters, and then
talks about combining characters for grapheme clusters - and this in spite
of the fact that what most people would consider a character is a grapheme
cluster and _not_ a code point. But they presumably had to come up with new
terms for a lot of this nonsense, and that's not always easy.

Regardless, what they came up with is complicated enough that it's arguably
a miracle whenever a program actually handles Unicode text 100% correctly.
