1205=head3 Character widths are not correct.
1206
1207urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
1208the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
1209will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
1210where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
1211and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
1212
1213The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
1214possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like
