# wcwidth

|
Determine columns needed for a fixed-size wide-character string
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
wcwidth is a simple JavaScript port of [wcwidth](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/wcswidth.3.html) implemented in C by Markus Kuhn.
|
|
|
|
JavaScript port [originally](https://github.com/mycoboco/wcwidth.js) written by Woong Jun <woong.jun@gmail.com> (http://code.woong.org/)
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
'한'.length // => 1
|
|
wcwidth('한'); // => 2
|
|
|
|
'한글'.length // => 2
|
|
wcwidth('한글'); // => 4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`wcwidth()` and its string version, `wcswidth()` are defined by IEEE Std
|
|
1002.1-2001, a.k.a. POSIX.1-2001, and return the number of columns used
|
|
to represent the given wide character and string.
|
|
|
|
Markus's implementation assumes the wide character given to those
|
|
functions to be encoded in ISO 10646, which is almost true for
|
|
JavaScript's characters.
