Hi Steven,

thank you for your reply... I really needed another python guru which
is also an English teacher! Sorry if English is not my mother tongue...
"uncorrect" instead of "incorrect" (I misapplied the "similarity
principle" like "unpleasant...>...uncorrect").

Apart from these trifles, you said:
All characters are UTF-8, characters. "a" is a UTF-8 character. So is "ă".
Not using python 3, for me (a programmer which was present at the beginning of
computer science, badly interacting with many languages from assembler to
Fortran and from c to Pascal and so on) it was an hard job to arrange the
abrupt transition from characters only equal to bytes to some special
characters defined with 2, 3 bytes and even more.

Characters do not have a width.

It depends what you mean by "width"! :-)

Try this (Python 3):

>>> print("A\N{FULLWIDTH LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A}")
AA
