I've a little problem.
I'm using NodeJS as backend. Now, an user has a field biography, where the user can write something about himself.
Suppose that this field has 220 maxlength, and suppose this as input:
👶🏻👦🏻👧🏻👨🏻👩🏻👱🏻♀️👱🏻👴🏻👵🏻👲🏻👳🏻♀️👳🏻👮🏻♀️👮🏻👷🏻♀️👷🏻💂🏻♀️💂🏻🕵🏻♀️👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️👩🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾👨🏻🌾
As you can see there aren't 220 emojis (there are 37 emojis), but if I do in my nodejs server
console.log(bio.length)
where bio is the input text, I got 221. How could I parse the string input to get the correct length? Is it a problem about unicode?
SOLVED
I used this library: https://github.com/orling/grapheme-splitter
I tried that:
var Grapheme = require('grapheme-splitter');
var splitter = new Grapheme();
console.log(splitter.splitGraphemes(bio).length);
and the length is 37. It works very well!
