Finally found a use for the hideous Unicode "fi" ligature: fitting quotes in 140 chars.https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/882976573510602752 …
For character-cell fonts it's not possible without getting implementors to agree on changing wcwidth([those chars])...

Not sure what assumptions applications are entitled to make about "monospace" fonts but it may be a problem there too. :-(
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

And "just don't use those hideous broken characters" seems like a better use of time to most of us...

I actually kind of prefer seeing "fi" in one charcell on terminal so the visual awfulness shows that the text needs fixing.
