Struct icu_segmenter::GraphemeClusterSegmenter

pub struct GraphemeClusterSegmenter {
    payload: DataPayload<GraphemeClusterBreakDataV1Marker>,
}

Segments a string into grapheme clusters.

Supports loading grapheme cluster break data, and creating grapheme cluster break iterators for different string encodings.

Examples

Segment a string:

use icu::segmenter::GraphemeClusterSegmenter;
let segmenter = GraphemeClusterSegmenter::new();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> = segmenter.segment_str("Hello 🗺").collect();
// World Map (U+1F5FA) is encoded in four bytes in UTF-8.
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10]);

Segment a Latin1 byte string:

use icu::segmenter::GraphemeClusterSegmenter;
let segmenter = GraphemeClusterSegmenter::new();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> =
    segmenter.segment_latin1(b"Hello World").collect();
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]);

Successive boundaries can be used to retrieve the grapheme clusters. In particular, the first boundary is always 0, and the last one is the length of the segmented text in code units.

use itertools::Itertools;
let text = "मांजर";
let grapheme_clusters: Vec<&str> = segmenter
    .segment_str(text)
    .tuple_windows()
    .map(|(i, j)| &text[i..j])
    .collect();
assert_eq!(&grapheme_clusters, &["मां", "ज", "र"]);

This segmenter applies all rules provided to the constructor. Thus, if the data supplied by the provider comprises all grapheme cluster boundary rules from Unicode Standard Annex #29, Unicode Text Segmentation, which is the case of default data (both test data and data produced by icu_datagen), the segment_* functions return extended grapheme cluster boundaries, as opposed to legacy grapheme cluster boundaries. See Section 3, Grapheme Cluster Boundaries, and Table 1a, Sample Grapheme Clusters, in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Unicode Text Segmentation.

use icu::segmenter::GraphemeClusterSegmenter;
let segmenter =
    GraphemeClusterSegmenter::new();

// நி (TAMIL LETTER NA, TAMIL VOWEL SIGN I) is an extended grapheme cluster,
// but not a legacy grapheme cluster.
let ni = "நி";
let egc_boundaries: Vec<usize> = segmenter.segment_str(ni).collect();
assert_eq!(&egc_boundaries, &[0, ni.len()]);

pub fn segment_str<'l, 's>( &'l self, input: &'s str, ) -> GraphemeClusterBreakIteratorUtf8<'l, 's>

Creates a grapheme cluster break iterator for an str (a UTF-8 string).

pub(crate) fn new_and_segment_str<'l, 's>( input: &'s str, payload: &'l RuleBreakDataV1<'l>, ) -> GraphemeClusterBreakIteratorUtf8<'l, 's>

Creates a grapheme cluster break iterator from grapheme cluster rule payload.

There are always breakpoints at 0 and the string length, or only at 0 for the empty string.

pub fn segment_utf8<'l, 's>( &'l self, input: &'s [u8], ) -> GraphemeClusterBreakIteratorPotentiallyIllFormedUtf8<'l, 's>

Creates a grapheme cluster break iterator for a potentially ill-formed UTF8 string

Invalid characters are treated as REPLACEMENT CHARACTER

There are always breakpoints at 0 and the string length, or only at 0 for the empty string.

pub fn segment_latin1<'l, 's>( &'l self, input: &'s [u8], ) -> GraphemeClusterBreakIteratorLatin1<'l, 's>

Creates a grapheme cluster break iterator for a Latin-1 (8-bit) string.

There are always breakpoints at 0 and the string length, or only at 0 for the empty string.

pub fn segment_utf16<'l, 's>( &'l self, input: &'s [u16], ) -> GraphemeClusterBreakIteratorUtf16<'l, 's>

Creates a grapheme cluster break iterator for a UTF-16 string.

There are always breakpoints at 0 and the string length, or only at 0 for the empty string.

pub(crate) fn new_and_segment_utf16<'l, 's>( input: &'s [u16], payload: &'l RuleBreakDataV1<'l>, ) -> GraphemeClusterBreakIteratorUtf16<'l, 's>
