locate-character efficiently finds the precise byte index of a character within a string, addressing the complexities of multi-byte characters often encountered in Unicode. This package avoids naive charAt or similar approaches, which can produce incorrect results when dealing with characters outside the basic ASCII range. Useful for tasks involving text manipulation, parsing, and advanced string analysis where accurate character positioning is critical, especially in contexts that require byte-level precision. Lightweight and fast, locate-character ensures your string operations remain accurate.
