1206=head3 Character widths are not correct.
1207
1208urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
1209the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
1210will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
1211where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
1212and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
1213
1214The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
1215possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like
