	// unicode characters, with counting starting at 1.

	// Column counts characters as they appear visually, so for example a
	// latin letter with a combining diacritic mark counts as one character.
	// This is intended for rendering visual markers against source code in
	// contexts where these diacritics would be rendered in a single character
	// cell. Technically speaking, Column is counting grapheme clusters as
	// used in unicode normalization.
