Re: [Haskell-cafe] Grapheme length?

With the "Data.Text.ICU.Char" module, it may be possible to determine
grapheme boundaries:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/text-icu-0.7.0.1/docs/Data-Text-ICU-Char...
I'll look into this and report back.
I'm quite prepared to believe this is wrong/misguided, but I was able to hack something together that works for my uses so far:

    import Data.Text.ICU.Char
    len = length . filter (==Nothing) . map (property GraphemeClusterBreak) . T.unpack

Example:

len ("🤣h👩🏻elloä❤️❤️👩❤️👩" :: Text)
== 13
