I found this much clearer and better-written than the first document you referenced. It defines terms and concepts in an orderly progression. But I would have found it drier and more difficult if I hadn't read Spolsky first. Unless Spolsky is plainly, misleadingly, dangerously wrong about something, I would recommend his article first for anyone (like me) who needs to bone up on this stuff.

There's also an Apple Tech Note, TN 2078, that gives a very brief but comprehensible explanation of characters, code points, BMP, surrogate pairs, combining marks, and grapheme clusters.http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2078.html#FSREFSANDLONGNAMES

I think I'll file a documentation bug on characterAtIndex: requesting that it contain a reference to rangeOfComposedCharacterSequenceAtIndex:, or alternatively that the String Programming Guide For Cocoa explain the hazard of relying on characterAtIndex:. _______________________________________________
