            Bug ID: 26207
           Summary: wcwidth() returns -1 for numerous emoji added by
                    unicode 13.0
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.33
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: nickblack at linux dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

This is with the 2.33 candidate, commit ca3549c8. I see the same behavior on my
vendor (Debian Unstable, glibc 2.30-8) glibc.

In a proper UTF-8 locale (LANG="en_US.UTF-8"), wcwidth() returns -1 for a
number of emoji introduced by Unicode 13.0. I've prepared what I believe to be
an exhaustive list:

U+01f972
U+01f978
U+01f90c
U+01fac0
U+01fac1
U+01f9ac
U+01f9a3
U+01f9ab
U+01f9a4
U+01fab6
U+01f9ad
U+01fab2
U+01fab3
U+01fab0
U+01fab1
U+01fab4
U+01fad0
U+01fad2
U+01fad1
U+01fad3
U+01fad4
U+01fad5
U+01fad6
U+01f9cb
U+01faa8
U+01fab5
U+01f6d6
U+01f6fb
U+01f6fc
U+01fa84
U+01fa85
U+01fa86
U+01faa1
U+01faa2
U+01fa74
U+01fa96
U+01fa97
U+01fa98
U+01fa99
U+01fa83
U+01fa9a
U+01fa9b
U+01fa9d
U+01fa9c
U+01f6d7
U+01fa9e
U+01fa9f
U+01faa0
U+01faa4
U+01faa3
U+01faa5
U+01faa6
U+01faa7

while all of these values have a high 17th bit, there are numerous codepoints
with a high 17th bit for which glibc returns a correct wcwidth() value.

This was discovered while developing the "Mojibake" demo of Notcurses:
