            Bug ID: 488100
           Summary: U+FFFD Replacement character width mismatch
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 24.02.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: font
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: reg.bugs at poti.sk
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
The U+FFFD character has width 1, but the glyph takes 2 columns on the screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. in konsole+shell:  `echo '-_-_-' ; echo -e "-_\uFFFD_-"`

OBSERVED RESULT

The first line just prints an auxiliary pattern of 5 plain chars. Its total
width is 5 cells.

The second line prints the same pattern with the middle character replaced by
the replacement mark: � (a questionmark on a diamond-shaped background).

The second line has also the total width 5, the pattern matches column by
column, but the � character occupies two cells and partially overwrites the
next character.

EXPECTED RESULT

Either the U+FFFD character is double-width and takes 2 cells making the total
length equal to 6 (instead of 5) or its a regular witdth character and takes
just 1 screen cell without any overlap.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.05
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This  C program prints that the width of the Unicode character in question is
1.

```
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int main() {
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8");
    printf("width %d\n", wcwidth((wchar_t)0xFFFD));
}
```
