Project mention: State of Terminal Emulators in 2025: The Errant Champions | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-03
Unicode support in terminals is kind of a mess for TUI software developers. There is no good way to know how many columns a Unicode character will take, because terminals use different grapheme clustering algorithms.
For a text editor I'm making I ended up with:
> Unicode support is limited to what common modern terminal emulators support. In Hat, "character" is a Unicode codepoint. So no grapheme clustering, no variation selection, no ZWJs, no terminal emulator-specific logic. As long as every buffer byte is displayed and editable, we're ok.
