I'm not expert of this area, but Korean support is still totally broken: >>> import unicodedata >>> s = "\u1100\u1161\u11a8" >>> unicodedata.east_asian_width(s[0]) 'W' >>> unicodedata.east_asian_width(s[1]) 'N' >>> unicodedata.east_asian_width(s[2]) 'N' >>> s '각' >>> s[:2] '가' >>> print(s[:2] + '\n' + s[2:]) 가 ᆨ >>> print(s[:1] + '\n' + s[1:]) ᄀ ᅡᆨ I think "CJK support" is not nice naming for just using east_asian_width. PR-5649 doesn't use "CJK" word in APIs, but uses in commit log (PR title) and NEWS entry. Maybe, it should be "Textwrap now uses ``unicodedata.east_asian_width()`` to calculate text width when unicodedata is available."

I think "CJK support" is not nice naming for just using east_asian_width.
PR-5649 doesn't use "CJK" word in APIs, but uses in commit log (PR title)
and NEWS entry.

Maybe, it should be "Textwrap now uses ``unicodedata.east_asian_width()``
to calculate text width when unicodedata is available."
