  • xterm.js

    A terminal for the web

  • The master branch of xterm.js (which will become version 5.4) has a new experimental support for grapheme clusters, combining characters, and partial support for variation selectors, based on Unicode 15. (Contributed by Your Truly.) For now it needs to be explicitly enabled (see https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/tree/master/addons/addon...) but in a later release we hope to make it the default. Most of the work is handled by the browser and the font, but xterm.js does need to detect cluster boundaries - which is what the addon does.
