Fantastic comment, thank you. One question I have is which of these are fixed across Unicode standards. (a) Byte count for storage and (b) code point count are definitely fixed, Unicode provides an explicit guarantee of the latter: https://www.unicode.org/policies/stability_policy.html (c) Visual width will change depending on the system. But what about (d) grapheme count? If I make a microblogging site which limits post length to 144 graphemes, can my database invariants break when I upgrade my version of Unicode? |
