       The  package  textutil::wcswidth  provides  commands that determine character type and width when used in
       terminals, and the length of strings when printed in a terminal.

       The data underlying the  functionality  of  this  package  is  provided  by  the  Unicode  database  file
       http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/EastAsianWidth.txt.

       The complete set of procedures is described below.

       ::textutil::wcswidthstring
              Returns  the  number  of  character  cells taken by the string when printed to the terminal.  This
              takes double-wide characters from the various Asian and other scripts into account.

       ::textutil::wcswidth_charchar
              Returns the number of character cells taken by the character when printed to the terminal.

              Beware: The character char is specified as Unicode codepoint.

       ::textutil::wcswidth_typechar
              Returns the character type of the specified character.  This a single character in the set  of  A,
              F,         H,         N,         Na,         and         W,         as        specified        per
              http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/EastAsianWidth.txtBeware: The character char is specified as Unicode codepoint.
