Remarks

A glyph cluster represents something drawn as one text character, and moves the text caret over by one position.

In Latin script with no diacritics (accents), a glyph cluster is simply one character. But in general, a cluster can span multiple characters in a text string.

For example, a text layout created from "นี้" appears as if it's one glyph, but it spans three characters. It's a cluster with a CharacterCount of 3.
