I want to kown how many unicode make one hindi character

Question

I used the pyhton： for m in regex.findall(r"\X", 'ल्लील्ली', regex.UNICODE): for i in m: print(i, i.encode('unicode-escape')) print('--------') the results show ल्ली has 2 Hindi characters: ल b'\\u0932' ् b'\\u094d' -------- ल b'\\u0932' ी b'\\u0940' -------- it is wrong, actually, ल्ली is one Hindi character. How to get the Hindi character(such as ल्ली) by how many Unicode composed. In short, I want to split 'कृपयाल्ली' to 'कृ','प','या','ल्ली' Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

I am not quite sure if this is correct, being Finnish and not well versed in Hindi, but this would merge characters with any subsequent Unicode Mark characters: import unicodedata def merge_compose(s: str): current = [] for c in s: if current and not unicodedata.category(c).startswith("M"): yield current current = [] current.append(c) if current: yield current for group in merge_compose("कृपयाल्ली"): print(group, len(group), "->", "".join(group)) Output is: ['क', 'ृ'] 2 -> कृ ['प'] 1 -> प ['य', 'ा'] 2 -> या ['ल', '्'] 2 -> ल् ['ल', 'ी'] 2 -> ली If you are a beginner and want to know more about Python the do check out the python for data science
