I would suggest that cursor position control sequences should always operate on
a single-column basis. This is in line with every other terminal that handles
wide characters. It is up to the application running in the emulator to know
where it wants to position the cursor.
For example, the command below should move the cursor into the emoji but the
second `\e[D` should have not *visual* change, but the cursor is actually in the
"first" column of the emoji
printf " 😀" && sleep 2 && printf "\e[D" && sleep 2 && printf "\e[D" && sleep 2
Just my two cents.
