Huh. It's displayed taking up three cells in my terminal, but laid out as if its width were one cell. Irritating. I wonder if there are any other grapheme clusters that don't properly fit in two cells?

CJK text is typically rendered as 2 columns per character, but in general this is dependent on the terminal emulator
