Can you really automate that problem? You could provide a "split at glyphs" function, but I doubt that would actually be useful without tons of caveats. Even English doesn't do split at glyphs well given the existence of ligatures. `flat -> fl a t`.

Not to mention you would need to make any such function language aware since different languages could theoretically have different mapping rules for the same sequence of characters.
