Thanks for your technical details.

Many times it is needed to do cluster level Editing of Indic Text/Data.

We have tried to do it in Notepad++ <https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiK8dug4_fXAhVCtY8KHR_ZDeQQFggoMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnotepad-plus-plus.org%2Fdownload%2F&usg=AOvVaw3Xxk2nCQhZDS063HXzmla7>  , Some Hex Editors, but non found perfect or user friendly.

The old Yudit <https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi3q7rd4_fXAhWMro8KHd3qCwIQFggoMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yudit.org%2F&usg=AOvVaw1_tpuW-Iwt8OOHUB_QaiyQ>  also not giving desired functionality.

Is there any HEX/TEXT editor, which supports Unicode (2Byte/3Byte) Character groups? Which have a split window, one showing with rendering, another showing code points only in Characters?

Doing editing of big/huge text files having common errors, (with global search and replace using wordlist), only PYTHON script provides small level of user friendliness, i.e. directly input of Indic Unicode 

chars, But very limited.

Looking for some other editor.

So IMO the issue is just with intra grapheme cursors and the current common behaviour of cursors jumping cluster boundaries (and the resultant Del/BkSp status) is perfectly fine, but search-replace operations need not be limited by cursor positions and should work per character instead.

That way they are more useful ... ...

If OTOH, per character search replace is not provided for at all, that is indeed a serious limitation IMO as in the old MS Word versions.
