Unicode has a definition for all these terms. In the case of grapheme,
the key definitions is that of _grapheme cluster_. Please see
<http://unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundaries>,
especially the part about Hangul and Devanagari. Reasoning over
non-Latin scripts makes that discussion always more scientific and less
metaphysical. :)
