This module allows determining the display width of strings, mostly
|
|
useful with multibyte character encodings. It provides functionality
|
|
equivalent to C's wcwidth(3), wcswidth(3) and mblen(3).
|
|
|
|
While most characters have a width of 1, there are exceptions - many
|
|
east Asian characters have a width of 2, and some languages use Unicode
|
|
"combining characters" which have a zero width.
