I guess “Character” (http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#character) comes close, but we can’t really use that because `String.prototype.charAt` already exists. FWIW, I always use the term “symbol” to refer to a string that represents a single code point. IMHO it’s not _really_ confusing to name this new method `symbolAt` because it’s defined on `String.prototype`, which indicates that it acts on strings and has nothing to do with ES6 Symbols. That said, I welcome better suggestions :) _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
