This survey was created to inform the debate over what unit ranges should use in the Language Server Protocol. The debate is occuring in issue #376. The protocol was updated in version 3.0 to clarify that "character" indexes are in UTF-16, however since UTF-16 is controversial many implementations continue to use other units.
Please send a PR if you know what unit (UTF-8, UTF-16, Codepoints, grapheme clusters) a given implementation uses.
unkown should be replaced with [**unit**](issue/relevant information) and count should be updated.
- UTF-8: 4
- UTF-16: 5
- Codepoints: 3
- grapheme clusters: 1
