UNICODE_WCWIDTH(3)	    Courier Unicode Library	    UNICODE_WCWIDTH(3)

NAME
       unicode_wcwidth,	unicode_wcwidth_str - width of a Unicode character
       string

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<courier-unicode.h>

       int unicode_wcwidth(char32_t c);

       size_t unicode_wcwidth_str(const	char32_t *str);

DESCRIPTION
       unicode_wcwidth returns 1 for regular Unicode characters, 0 for control
       characters, and 2 for characters	that normally take up the width	of two
       regular characters on a text console.

       unicode_wcwidth_str adds	up unicode_wcwidth of all characters in	the
       null-terminated string and returns the total

BUGS
       The width of a Unicode character	is looked up in	the Unicode database,
       and not your terminal's character set font. Hopefully your terminal's
       character set font is Unicide-compatible.
