The issue is that we rely on the "East Asian With" spec by Unicode, like pretty much all terminals: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/
As the name suggests, for southeastern languages it just says, "no designated width", which we by convention have to assume is 1 column wide. If you can find >1 terminal that solve this issue (= which we could use as reference), please let us know by opening a new issue for it. 🙂
