Fullwidth conversion code in ruby:
"string".tr(' !-~', "\u3000" + (0xFF01...0xFF5f).to_a.pack('U*'))

- Danieru 14y agoFull width characters have a fun habit of breaking most things. Even more so than unicode. Since they are only used in CJK languages the majority of programmers are unaware of them. The seperate code points between half-width and full-width mean that you need a decent unicode library. Otherwise a user could spoof another user. One cool feature is it lets you write monospaced even if you do not control the font. Since there are full-width codepoints for most programming symbols.
