The problem was consistent in a different installation of OpenSuse 13.2, but
the problem is inconsistent in my present installation of the same OS.

The screenshot is from my present installation, showing the inconsistency.

As shown in the "vi" session, when the cursor is in the middle of a line
containing arrow characters, something is greatly confused and the display is
completely scrambled.  This still makes editing just about impossible.

But for unknown reasons, in my present installation, the output of cat displays
the arrow characters properly in full-width.

In my earlier installation, arrow characters were all displayed as half-width
both in vi and the output of cat.  This still made editing impossible.

In my earlier installation, a Japanese person recommended changing the Konsole
setting for fixed-width font.  Some fonts displayed arrow characters as
full-width and solved the problem consistently.

In my present installation, I think I haven't tried such an experiment yet, but
I don't know what produced the inconsistency.
