Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

What textwrap does not take into account the width of characters is not the 
only problem. It also does not take into account combining characters and 
control codes. Implementing all this will significantly complicate the code and 
possibly should lie outside the standard library. Such large change obviously 
is new feature. I believe that we should first provide a common interface to 
determine the width of the line (issue12499) and allow to determine the 
appropriate algorithm at the application level. Also provide helper functions 
like in issue12568.
