GetUnicharWidth only supports UTF-16. But now, we have ICU, so we can use ICU function (UCHAR_EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH) for this to support U+10000+ .
Summary: Use UEastAsianWidth in GetUnicharWidth/ → Use UEastAsianWidth in GetUnicharWidth
Priority: -- → P3

The GetUnicharWidth function has a bunch of hardcoded Unicode ranges for combining characters and for "wide" (East Asian) chars, but these have not been kept up to date with new versions of Unicode.

We should instead use Unicode character property APIs, and get rid of the hardcoded ranges here.

In addition, GetUnicharStringWidth looks like it was written before supplementary-plane characters were even a thing, and is oblivious to surrogate pairs. So any supplementary-plane characters will count as width=2, regardless of whether they're really "wide" or "narrow".

Status: NEW → ASSIGNED

Now that GetUnicharStringWidth is aware of surrogate pairs, we also need to handle them here
so that the count doesn't get out of sync with what we originally measured.
