Combining Devanagari characters

Question

I have something like

a = \"बिक्रम मेरो नाम हो\"

I want to achieve something like

a[0] = बि
a[1] = क्र
a[3] = म
         


        

Answer 1

You can achieve this with a simple regex for any engine that supports \X

Demo

Unfortunately, Python's re does not support the \X grapheme match.

Fortunately, the proposed replacement, regex, does support \X:

>>> a = "बिक्रम मेरो नाम हो"
>>> regex.findall(r'\X', a)
['बि', 'क्', 'र', 'म', ' ', 'मे', 'रो', ' ', 'ना', 'म', ' ', 'हो']
