<div class="desc"><p>Counts <strong>grapheme clusters</strong> — what a reader perceives as one character — which is what you want for cursor movement and visual width. A base letter plus a combining accent, a ZWJ emoji sequence (like a family emoji), and a two–regional-indicator flag each count as one, even though they span several code points. This v1 approximates UAX#29 over those common cases; full segmentation is a follow-up.</p></div>
