I haven't finished reading through the whole post yet, but if Perl 6 works on graphemes, are ligatures considered to be only one character?

  Yes. Bear in mind however that ligatures are in Unicode only for the backward compatibility. > 'ffl'.chars 1

    that's sure to ruffle some feathers. (see what I did there)

      Try highlighting substrings of that text -- my browser doesn't even know it's multiple characters. (Separate is the idea of a browser displaying ligatures, which already works. But that's because ligatures are a display issue and the source text must have non-ligature text in it.)
