Yeah, I've noticed this as well, it happens in my text editor as well. I tend
to go with the approach of having the | be in the same column.

According to the Unicode standards, the vast majority of Japanese
characters (whichever alphabet they come from) are intended to be twice
as wide as an English letter would be in a monospace font.
However, many email clients suck at enforcing this rule in practice
(e.g. mine seems to be displaying the above three-character word as
just over five columns wide). In order to avoid making peoples' eyes
bleed, I tend to use a footnote whenever I have to write 天火狐's name in
tabular data, so that it doesn't need to line up with anything else.
