Anyone know how to count Unicode glyphs in Vala?
Eg., “
” = two glyphs
This is currently what I’m banging my head against.
To wit, what I’ve already tried:
- string.length returns bytes
- get_char_count() returns characters (eg. an emoji might be 5 characters)
- I can’t seem to find a way to split a string into an array of glyphs (in JavaScript: […str].length does the trick). e.g., string.split throws an error in Vala if called with an empty string as the delimiter.
I must be missing something very basic here but can’t seem to find any resources online.
