Dumb Unicode question:
I know that 'code points' are not characters / glyphs. They include control characters etc.
Does there exist any standardised abstraction within Unicode, or systems handling Unicode, for anything approximating 'actual glyph'?
Eg: a UTF-8 string, or a series of 32-bit codepoints, that together unambiguously define a visual glyph?
Are there standard ways of isolating and dealing with such a thing, which is roughly the equivalent of 'character'?
@natecull elixir does this. They refer to the final represented glyphs as `graphemes`.
