Special characters muck up the results view #16

See screenshot as an example:

The more characters like this the more the table becomes unreadable.

I think a solution would be to calculate the width that vim will need to display the values and use that as column width; instead of what I presume is just a length-of-characters-in-string function?

Hmm this is probably an issue with go-pretty. Still needs some investigation.

Hey, @artfulrobot I looked into this and unfortunately, I think this is the issue with terminal emulator displaying some byte sequences as 2-character wide symbol.

You can try copying this sequence to command line and see if it persists. You can also try pressing ctrl-v and then ctrl-l to see if this is the case outside vim.
