graphemes

graphemes(s) -> iterator over substrings of s

Returns an iterator over substrings of s that correspond to the extended graphemes in the string, as defined by Unicode UAX #29. (Roughly, these are what users would perceive as single characters, even though they may contain more than one codepoint; for example a letter combined with an accent mark is a single grapheme.)

Examples

Iterate over graphemes in a string:
```
julia> for g in graphemes("Hello")
          println(g)
      end
H
e
l
l
o
```
This example iterates over each grapheme in the string "Hello" and prints them individually.
Count the number of graphemes in a string:
```
julia> count(graphemes("Julia is awesome!"))
16
```
It counts the number of graphemes in the given string.
Create an array of graphemes from a string:
```
julia> arr = collect(graphemes("Julia"))
5-element Array{String,1}:
"J"
"u"
"l"
"i"
"a"
```
This example converts the graphemes in the string "Julia" into an array.

Common mistake example:

julia> graphemes("👨‍👩‍👧‍👦")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching graphemes(::String)

In this example, the function graphemes does not support grapheme extraction from a string containing Unicode grapheme clusters. It is important to note that graphemes works with extended graphemes, not grapheme clusters.
