 From the Unicode glossary:

Grapheme. (1) A minimally distinctive unit of writing in the context  
of a particular writing system.[...] (2) What a user thinks of as a  
character.

As for (2), cf.

User-Perceived Character. What everyone thinks of as a character in  
their script.

So we have "a user" versus "everyone...in their script" - is the  
difference intentional? Probably not. Anyway the definitions are  
language/locale dependent.

Regards

Janusz
