BUG: Print alignement problem with some unicode characters #61502

Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd print(pd.DataFrame({'a': 'FooXXXXX,BarXXXXX,BazXXXXX,💾,🤓🤘'.split(','), 'b': 1}))

Issue Description

The example prints the following output:

 a b 0 FooXXXXX 1 1 BarXXXXX 1 2 BazXXXXX 1 3 💾 1 4 🤓🤘 1 

It seems that some unicode characters are shifting the position to the right.
I have tried with different ranges (number of used bytes), and I can't find where the issue comes from.

Expected Behavior

 a b 0 FooXXXXX 1 1 BarXXXXX 1 2 BazXXXXX 1 3 💾 1 4 🤓🤘 1 

(well, there's also an alignement problem on github, but the "1" shall be aligned)
