Extended UTF8 characters display at incorrect size, breaking curses-type applications

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Running the following code in a linux shell (Centos 6.2 host, ICS 4.03 client, 
ConnectBot 1.7.1):

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf( "| asdfg 12345 |\n" );
printf( "| \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 12345 |\n" );
return( 0 );
}

The "heart" characters on the second line appear larger than the letters on the 
first, destroying the aligment of the vertical lines. Seems to affect most 
extended characters. Works fine in PuTTY and native linux terminal.
