iTerm2 Emoji doublewidth

asmeurer opened this issue · 1 comments

Just something to be aware of. The next version of iTerm2 will support Unicode 9.0, which makes emoji doublewidth (meaning you don't have to insert spaces between them to make them look good in the Terminal). It already works in the nightly. It has a special escape code you can print https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/unicodeversionswitching to enable it. There's also some way to detect if you are in iTerm2 (I don't remember what it is; I think it's another escape sequence).

Closing this old issue, please comment with examples if there's something that needs improving and we can re-open. Thanks!
