this only works as long as the strings do not contain unicode characters

const x = 'H🍺llo'

console.log( x.charAt(0) ) // H
console.log( x.charAt(1) ) // �
console.log( x.charAt(2) ) // �
console.log( x.charAt(3) ) // l
console.log( x.charAt(4) ) // l

// di naapektuhan yung original string
console.log( x ) // H🍺llo

const chars = 'H🍺llo'.match(/./ug);
console.log(chars[0]); //H
console.log(chars[1]); //🍺
console.log(chars[2]); //l
console.log(chars[3]); //l
console.log(chars[4]); //o
