If efficiency is not a concern, then you can easily use something like
this (just a quick prototype, didn't verify if it's correct or not):

Thanks for the free code :)
I think that will be the way to go in my case, since most input will be
ascii and moving the cursor will be quite
Hi!
This is a really good suggestion, but I think it may add a lot of
overhead
since it would need to go through the entire buffer, and since moving
the
cursor is not very frequent (not more than changing you position or
opening a new buffer), I think it would be better to do it the "lazy"

Thank you a lot for spending some time answering!
The problem with this heuristic is that the algorithm can become very
inefficient, especially when you have long preceding segments. If n is
the offset-length, the worst-case runtime could be O((n-1)!) for a
segment that is in fact of length n-1,
libgrapheme looks really useful, but I still don't get some things from
it. For example, if I need to get back one grapheme, how should I do it
since there's no `grapheme_prev_character_break`? And to get the number
of columns a character takes up, should I convert everything to wchar
and use `
