haypo> The purpose of this issue is to handle CJK characters taking 2 haypo> columns instead of 1 in a terminal, or did I misunderstand it?

That's the other half of the problem, but the more common issue is misplaced caret when non-ascii characters are present:

>>> ¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    ¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº
                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

With Serhiy's patch:

>>> ¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    ¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
