I also noticed the naming similarity to ES6 `Symbol`s.

 I've seen people fill  `String.prototype.getFullChar` before and similarly
things like `String.prototype.fromFullCharCode` for dealing with surrogates
before. I like `String.prototype.signAt` but I haven't seen it used before.

I'm eager to hear what Allen has to say about this given his work on
unicode in ecmascript. Especially how it settles with this

I also think that this is important enough to be there.

Yeah, I thought about that, but couldn’t figure out a better name. “Glyph”
or “Grapheme” wouldn’t be accurate. Any suggestions?

Anyway, if everyone agrees this is a good idea I’ll get started on fleshing
out a proposal. We can then use this thread to bikeshed about the name.
