Wide Characters not aligned in column mode
Login
Not sure if this is out of scope or not, but when wide characters are present in column output mode they're still treated as one character wide, so column widths are wrong and text is misaligned. For example:

```
source                                    dest             
----------------------------------------  -----------------
Final Fantasy 7 (Famicom)                 Final Fantasy VII
最终幻想7                                     Final Fantasy VII
Shenzhen Nanjing Technology               Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII (Famicom)               Final Fantasy VII
```

There are various ways to check the printed width of a character, on Linux you can use wcwidth for example. 

If this is in scope, it'd be great to have it fixed.
