Here is an interesting discovery. Copy the following text into a buffer:
'hello world'
'नमस्कार नमस्कार'
One can see that there are four words, two on line 1 and two on line 2.
Emacs count these as six words! Two on line 1 and four on line 2!
In case if it matters, I am using Doom Emacs v 2.0.9, Emacs v 26.3.
How do I set things right?
