Fwd: Emoji as East Asian Width = Wide

[Oren Watson via Unicode]

EAW is used in fixed-width settings to distinguish characters that should
take up one space versus two. I would also prefer that all these be
considered wide, since otherwise it causes format problems in these
settigns.
(unfortunately fixed-width appear to be largley ignored by unicode... ��)
