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.
