1) is unworkable, doesn't handle digraphs, trigraphs, combining
diacritics in latin script, let alone needs of complex scripts. In
theory you could process these in terms of grapheme clusters, but
default grapheme clusters could be probelmatic, therefore you'd need
custom grapheme clusters tailered to the language, getting very
complex.
2) seems to be the most workable option
3) and 4) can be difficult to work with .. but problem is that some
languages that are written with Latin script use digraphs where
depending on the input system a developer is using could be rendered
as 'd or ʼd or ’d. Obviously 'd would create problems for models 3)
and 4).
