If single element access is needed, str.front yields decoded `dchar`. Or simple `foreach (dchar d; str)` - it won't hide the fact it is O(n) operation at least. As `str.front` yields dchar, most `std.algorithm` and `std.range` utilities will also work correctly on default UTF-8 strings.
No, he needs graphemes, so `std.algorithm` won't work correctly for him as Peter has shown: grapheme doesn't fit in dchar.
