Were I to look for prior art I'd look at what ripgrep and the Rust regex engine do. I want to say its author had benchmarks showing that it was (one of)? the fast(est\|er) UTF handling engines. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply]

Yup, and a lot of processing power is required to correctly handle Unicode... no matter the programming language. That was always the compromise with Unicode, and it's a good one overall. Human languages and writing systems are messy, based on weird and complicated rules that evolved over centuries. At least we are not having to deal with codepages/"extended ASCII" anymore.
