A Unicode I<logical> "character" can actually consist of more than one internal I<actual> "character" or code point. For Western languages, this is adequately -represented by a I<base character> (like C<LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A>), followed +modelled by a I<base character> (like C<LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A>) followed by one or more I<modifiers> (like C<COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT>). This sequence of base character and modifiers is called a I<combining character sequence>. Some non-western languages require more complicated -representations, so Unicode invented a I<grapheme cluster> and then an -I<extended grapheme cluster>. For example, A Korean Hangul syllable is +models, so Unicode created the I<grapheme cluster> concept, and then the +I<extended grapheme cluster>. For example, a Korean Hangul syllable is considered a single logical character, but most often consists of three actual -characters: a leading consonant followed by an interior vowel followed by a -trailing consonant. +Unicode characters: a leading consonant followed by an interior vowel followed +by a trailing consonant. Whether to call these extended grapheme clusters "characters" depends on your point of view. If you are a programmer, you probably would tend towards seeing |
