# unicode-width
Determine displayed width of `char` and `str` types according to
[Unicode Standard Annex #11][UAX11] rules.
[](https://travis-ci.org/unicode-rs/unicode-width)
```rust
extern crate unicode_width;
use unicode_width::UnicodeWidthStr;
fn main() {
let teststr = "Ｈｅｌｌｏ, ｗｏｒｌｄ!";
let width = UnicodeWidthStr::width(teststr);
println!("{}", teststr);
println!("The above string is {} columns wide.", width);
let width = teststr.width_cjk();
println!("The above string is {} columns wide (CJK).", width);
}
```
**NOTE:** The computed width values may not match the actual rendered column
width. For example, the woman scientist emoji comprises of a woman emoji, a
zero-width joiner and a microscope emoji.
```rust
extern crate unicode_width;
use unicode_width::UnicodeWidthStr;
fn main() {
assert_eq!(UnicodeWidthStr::width("👩"), 2); // Woman
assert_eq!(UnicodeWidthStr::width("🔬"), 2); // Microscope
assert_eq!(UnicodeWidthStr::width("👩🔬"), 4); // Woman scientist
}
```
See [Unicode Standard Annex #11][UAX11] for precise details on what is and isn't
covered by this crate.
