Example Sentences
- "First, a bit of jargon: a grapheme cluster is a generalization of the notion of combining characters. A character is in itself a grapheme cluster. When we apply non-spacing or enclosing combining characters to it, we extend the cluster."
- "Unicode calls such sequences of one base character and potentially several combining characters as a grapheme cluster. Strings in Perl 6 are based on these grapheme clusters."
