multiple-byte characters may cause problem

I encountered terminal logs like below ( from command ps ux ):

First of all the two-column width Chinese characters will break the logic of coordinate calculation. And the overlap of the values of TIME and COMMAND will really confuse the algorithm I proposed here.

I think it's time to dive into the implementation of how terminals output these log tables.

Any thought or suggestion will be helpful

@vangie really did a great work by implementing this module https://github.com/vangie/east-asian-width, which can detect full-width and half-width unicode character.
