#+TITLE: README for Guile Runewidth

~guile-runewidth~ is a simple Guile library that provides several new Guile character sets for categorizing
East Asian characters and emoji. This can be useful when determining the width of characters.

This library is heavily inspired by the golang library ~runewidth~.

* Scripts
There are two scripts which can be used to regenerate the character set files. These are optional to run, since
the script's output is stored in the repository at ~runewidth/eastasian.scm~ and ~runewidth/emoji.scm~.

However, should the source change as the unicode spec changes, these can be refreshed.
