How do I split Tamil characters in a string?
When I use preg_match_all('/./u', $str, $results) ,
I get the characters "த", "ம", "ி", "ழ" and "்".
How do I get the combined characters "த", "மி" and "ழ்"?

I think you should be able to use the grapheme_extract function to iterate over the combined characters (which are technically called "grapheme clusters").
ReplyDeleteAlternatively, if you prefer the regex approach, I think you can use this:
preg_match_all('/\pL\pM*|./u', $str, $results)
where \pL means a Unicode "letter", and \pM means a Unicode "mark".
(Disclaimer: I have not tested either of these approaches.)
