Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/5866

State: closed
Merged: Yes


A couple of codepoints, namely the card suites, male and female signs,
and white and black smiling faces were changed to have a two-column
width as part of #5795 since they were specified as emoji in Unicode's
emoji list v13.0[1].

These particular glyphs also show up in some of the most fundamental
code pages, such as CP437[2] and WGL4[3]. We should
not be touching the width of the glyphs in these codepages, as suddenly
changing a long-time-running narrow glyph to use two-columns all of a
sudden will surely break (and has already broken) things.
