What Extract Graphemes does

The Extract Graphemes tool splits Unicode text into its individual graphemes, converting combined characters like ligatures or emoji into their constituent visual segments. Users input any text and receive a clean list of distinct character segments, enabling accurate handling of international scripts and complex symbols. The output preserves the visual perception of characters rather than merely separating raw code points.
