So if I understand you right, APL treats strings as arrays of whatever. This makes sense and isn't particularly hard to understand. Is there a way to treat Unicode strings as arrays of graphemes, instead of bytes or codepoints?



Dyalog APL does this by default.


It does code points, not graphemes. Graphemes are a pretty niche thing, I believe? Raku's the only language I've heard of having built-in support rather than using a library.


Ah oops, I misremembered what they were.
