Its funny how a single japanese symbol would be harder to crack than the anglicized name for it

  Do we know if the asterisks count Unicode code points rather than bytes?

    Doesn't really matter, the IME shows the input until you confirm which kanji you want.

      When the IME inserts the character, it'll be made up of multiple bytes because of the nature of UTF-8, so it may appear as multiple asterisks regardless.

        Most software, traditional sudo included, would respect the LC_CTYPE being set to an UTF-8 (or any of the older multi-byte encodings), and do proper character counting. At the very least, all GNU tools put a lot of focus on localization support, and I hope sudo-rs is the same.

          Having LC_CTYPE bit set to utf8 would be my worry. Would suck to not be able to logging because the LC* lang changed. Hmmm, hopefully sudo-rs respects LC* env vars. I recall reading a few years back that some Rust Unix tools skipped that and won big on benchmarks until folks realized they weren’t handling NC localization properly.
