pub fn atoms(s: &str) -> Vec<&str>Expand description
Splits the input string into layout atoms — visual units used for width-aware layout.
This is a runefix-specific segmentation, based on actual display width, not linguistic boundaries.
It differs from [graphemes()] (which follows Unicode UAX #29) by focusing purely on units that affect layout:
- Characters with width = 0 (e.g., combining marks, control codes) are grouped with their leading base
- Emoji sequences (e.g. ZWJ, variation selectors) are preserved as atomic units
- Output is suitable for TUI rendering, Markdown table layout, and CLI alignment
§Example
use runefix_core::atoms;
assert_eq!(atoms("👩❤️💋👨"), vec!["👩", "\u{200d}", "❤", "\u{fe0f}", "\u{200d}", "💋", "\u{200d}", "👨"]);§Note
This function is not Unicode-compliant segmentation. For that, see [graphemes()].
