I suspect that different lines in that example are actually
being rendered in different fonts. Characters within the *same*
monospaced font should have the same width (otherwise it's not
really a monospaced font!), but there are no guarantees between
different fonts.
Perhaps the meta-problem here is that Unicode being so big has
made it impractical to have a single font that encompasses all
the characters you might ever want to render, so you often have
to make do with a hodgepodge of fonts that don't play well
together.
