RE: Unicode Variation Selector and Combining character

Thank you for your reply.

We use IPAmj Mincho Font in the specifications of the Government of Japan.

https://moji.or.jp/mojikiban/font/

Exsample)IVS

I will attach an image.

D209007=# select char_length(U&'\+0066FE' || U&'\+0E0103') ;

char_length

-------------

           2

(1 行)

I expect length 1.

Exsample)Combining Character

I will attach an image.

D209007=# select char_length(U&'\+00304B' || U&'\+00309A') ;

char_length

-------------

           2

(1 行)

I expect length 1.

thank you.

Please show a test case of what you mean.  For example,

select char_length(...) returns X but should return Y

Examples with Unicode escapes (U&'\NNNN...') would be the most robust.
