You want "multi-codepoint graphemes" probably. Or really "things involving combining characters". There isn't really a term for this.

- bitwize 9y agoI believe the Unicode term is "grapheme cluster".
- Manishearth 9y agoNot exactly, no. क्र is currently not a grapheme cluster, for example (there is a proposed change to UAX 29 to make it such, but that doesn't handle all such cases). The strings in this situation are three grapheme clusters according to the spec even though they usually render as a single "thingy".
