Strings are a complicated data structure
Given the Hindi word "नमस्ते":
-
It can be represented as a byte array of 18 bytes:
[224, 164, 168, 224, 164, 174, 224, 164, 184, 224, 165, 141, 224, 164, 164, 224, 165, 135] -
If you look at Unicode scalar values, you get an array of 6 characters:
['न', 'म', 'स', '्', 'त', 'े'] -
But the fourth and sixth letters are diacritics. To get the human-readable letters, you need to look at the strings as an array of grapheme clusters:
["न", "म", "स्", "ते"]
