Yes, the full word will be highlighted even if only a single character is
changed. This has been the behaviour of the diff engine on Wikipedia since
2002, except in Chinese, Japanese and Thai text. Before that, a line-by-line
diff was used. We've never had character-level diffs for European languages.
