I meant ": on unboxed byte/utf8 arrays. There are 2 different issues: for display a noun to console/ide, all null will be removed by J Engine before feeding to console/ide, so that the extra padding is a non-issue.
But for the verb ": , the result is a non-ragged array of bytes, any extra padding null or stripping of existing null is a bug, (space character filling at the end of each row is fine) I prefer ":cjk being unaligned rather than extra padding null. Current padding only applies to double width unicode codepoints, not necessarily all codepoints beyond 19968. I might be wrong, Henry Rich should know better since he is the author. Please hold on adjusting your scripts, this area is still evolving.
