# Wcwidth

_[![Wcwidth NuGet Version](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/Wcwidth.svg?style=flat&label=NuGet%3A%20Wcwidth)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Wcwidth)_

This is a port of the [Python port](https://github.com/jquast/wcwidth) 

written by Jeff Quast, which originally was written by Markus Kuhn.

* Python port: https://github.com/jquast/wcwidth (MIT)

* Original: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c

## Usage

```csharp

using Wcwidth;

// Get the width

var width = UnicodeCalculator.GetWidth('コ');

// It should be 2 cells wide

Debug.Assert(width == 2);

```

## Building

We're using [Cake](https://github.com/cake-build/cake) as a 

[dotnet tool](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-tools) 

for building. So make sure that you've restored Cake by running 

the following in the repository root:

```

> dotnet tool restore

```

After that, running the build is as easy as writing:

```

> dotnet cake

```
