Wide / Full-width characters as defined by Unicode TR11 (EastAsianWidth.txt) should occupy 2 spaces per character, as this is what is done in many monospace terminal applications; See also: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7054 https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/6008

It might be impossible to reach a satisfying result here: EastAsianWidth.txt defines several characters to be ambiguous. That means, it depends on what ever, if they are considered wide or not. See https://denisbider.blogspot.com/2015/09/when-monospace-fonts-arent-unicode.html for a first impression, which problems will arise, when doing this.
