"uncorrect" instead of "incorrect" (I misapplied the "similarity principle" like "unpleasant...>...uncorrect"). Apart from these trifles, you said:All characters are UTF-8, characters. "a" is a UTF-8 character. So is "ă".Not using python 3, for me (a programmer which was present at the beginning of computer science, badly interacting with many languages from assembler to Fortran and from c to Pascal and so on) it was an hard job to arrange the abrupt transition from characters only equal to bytes to some special characters defined with 2, 3 bytes and even more.Characters do not have a width.

It depends what you mean by "width"! :-)
Try this (Python 3):
>>> print("A\N{FULLWIDTH LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A}")
AA
