Description
Many emojis are 2+ unicode chars long. The \u tag which allows searching for punctuation also counts emojis as single chars, which throws off character count when slicing strings. Spreading the strings into an array restores the correct character count. There is probably some overhead slowdown but not that I can detect.
Eventually the
\v
regex tag (in Node 20) can replace\u
to get an accurate char count natively.Contributor
