unicode/display_width <img src=“https://travis-ci.org/janlelis/unicode-display_width.png” />
An early draft of a way to determine the size of the characters using EastAsianWidth.txt
, based on the very early draft of a Ruby interface to UnicodeData.txt by runpaint.
Install
Install the gem with:
gem install unicode-display_width
or add to your Gemfile:
gem 'unicode-display_width'
Usage
require 'unicode/display_width'
The easy way is to use the String#display_width
method:
"⚀".display_width #=> 1
'一'.display_width #=> 2
To obtain more detailed character data, you can use the following syntax:
Unicode::DisplayWidth.codepoint( c )
Ambiguous Characters
The display_width
method takes an optional argument, which will be used as width for characters defined as “ambigious”. The default value is 1.
