Function std.uni.graphemeStride

Computes the length of grapheme cluster starting at index. Both the resulting length and the index are measured in code units.

size_t graphemeStride(C) (
  scope const C[] input,
  size_t index
) pure @safe
if (is(C : dchar));

Parameters

NameDescription
C type that is implicitly convertible to dchars
input array of grapheme clusters
index starting index into input[]

Returns

length of grapheme cluster

Example

writeln(graphemeStride("  ", 1)); // 1
// A + combing ring above
string city = "A\u030Arhus";
size_t first = graphemeStride(city, 0);
assert(first == 3); //\u030A has 2 UTF-8 code units
writeln(city[0 .. first]); // "A\u030A"
writeln(city[first .. $]); // "rhus"
