What is the purpose of the change

Fix the SQL SPLIT function so that, when called with an empty delimiter, it preserves Supplementary Multilingual Plane characters (e.g. emoji) as single elements instead of breaking surrogate pairs into invalid "?" placeholders.

Brief change log

  • Change the empty-delimiter branch in SplitFunction#eval to iterate by Unicode code points (codePointAt + Character.charCount) instead of by UTF-16 code units, so surrogate-pair characters are emitted as one element.

Verifying this change

Added a new test case in CollectionFunctionsITCase#splitTestCases that asserts SPLIT('123😊笑脸', '') returns ["1", "2", "3", "😊", "笑", "脸"], covering the SMP character path across both Table API and SQL.
