 @63522c49 Elixir also gets this right. Even though my terminal renders an extra space after the emoji.

 @19dd8b8c @63522c49 And languages like Elixir are about the only ones that could get proper character counts in the standard library.

Because you need to grab something like icu, which for system languages or core scripting languages (sh, perl, …) wouldn't be an option for their standard library (but definitely could for the extended standard library and I'd say should).
