According to /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz,
Character width is 1 by default.  W(Wide) and F(Full Width) are 2.

% Character width according to Unicode 3.2.
% - Default width is 1.
% - Double-width characters have width 2; generated from
%        "grep '^[^;]*;[WF]' EastAsianWidth.txt"
%   and  "grep '^[^;]*;[^WF]' EastAsianWidth.txt"
% - Non-spacing characters have width 0; generated from PropList.txt or
%   "grep '^[^;]*;[^;]*;[^;]*;[^;]*;NSM;' UnicodeData.txt"
% - Format control characters have width 0; generated from
%   "grep '^[^;]*;[^;]*;Cf;' UnicodeData.txt"
% - Zero width characters have width 0; generated from
%   "grep '^[^;]*;ZERO WIDTH ' UnicodeData.txt"

A(Ambiguous) is expected that it is context-sensitive,
but its width is always 1 irrelevant to context.

According to http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/#Recommendations

> When mapping Unicode to East Asian legacy character encodings
> 
>     * Wide Unicode characters always map to fullwidth characters.
>     * Narrow (and neutral) Unicode characters always map to halfwidth characters.
>     * Halfwidth Unicode characters always map to halfwidth characters.
>     * Ambiguous Unicode characters always map to fullwidth characters.

I think EastAsianAmbiguous character width should be 2 in CJK UTF-8 locale.
