Emojis are causing width issues in the prompt #34

See the video below for what happens when you display an emoji using emojify on the prompt. The first part uses emojify :smile: and the second part uses echo :); everything else remains constant.

emojify messed up prompt

Any ideas?

Multibyte/double-width issue (fixed on zsh, fish and some others… But no signal to be fixed on bash/sh).

@jmurowaniecki is it a technical reason why it isn't fixed on bash/sh?
