@ -356,6 +356,13 @@ The algorithm for splitting text into cells
This uses tests published by the Unicode consortium, `GraphemeBreakTest.txt
<https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/auxiliary/GraphemeBreakTest.txt>`__.
.. warning::
This algorithm is under public discussion in :iss:`8533`. Until that issue
is closed, it is subject to change based on feedback from the community.
Additionally, in the future if the Unicode standard changes in ways that
affect this algorithm, it will be updated. Currently the algorithm is based
on Unicode version 16.
Here, we specify how a terminal must split up text into cells, where a cell is
a width one unit in the character grid the terminal displays.
