frivoal has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev: == legacy grapheme clusters vs extended grapheme clusters == "Grapheme cluster" is often the appropriate way to define "character" in a specifications (such as CSS) which care about things readers visually identify as a character. Maybe the spec should point that out, with a link to the relevant part of unicode (http://unicode.org/reports/tr29/ I presume). There is already a mention of that in the "Indexing strings" section, but not in the "Choosing a definition of 'character'" section, where it would be particularly relevant. Also, providing a specific definition requires picking between "legacy grapheme clusters" and "extended grapheme clusters", and I am not sure how to do that. Guidance on this topic would be appreciated. See https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev/issues/1
