unicode-width

Determine displayed width of char and str types according to Unicode Standard Annex #11 rules.

Documentation

extern crate unicode_width; use unicode_width::UnicodeWidthStr; fn main() { let teststr = "Ｈｅｌｌｏ, ｗｏｒｌｄ!"; let width = UnicodeWidthStr::width(teststr); println!("{}", teststr); println!("The above string is {} columns wide.", width); let width = teststr.width_cjk(); println!("The above string is {} columns wide (CJK).", width); } 

NOTE: The computed width values may not match the actual rendered column width. For example, the woman scientist emoji comprises of a woman emoji, a zero-width joiner and a microscope emoji.

extern crate unicode_width; use unicode_width::UnicodeWidthStr; fn main() { assert_eq!(UnicodeWidthStr::width("👩"), 2); // Woman assert_eq!(UnicodeWidthStr::width("🔬"), 2); // Microscope assert_eq!(UnicodeWidthStr::width("👩‍🔬"), 4); // Woman scientist } 

See Unicode Standard Annex #11 for precise details on what is and isn't covered by this crate.
