@mal3aby @mcc Looking through Hindi wordlists, I see स्क्रू ("screw"), with an impressive 18 bytes of UTF-8 to encode a single grapheme.

@mal3aby @mcc The same list (compiled from opensubtitles.org) also has तु्म्ह ("your") at 24 (edit: no, 18) bytes, but Wiktionary lists that as "Old Hindi", so not sure that counts, even if it may have appeared in a Hindi subtitle at some point. https://github.com/hermitdave/FrequencyWords/blob/master/content/2018/hi/hi_full.txt
