problem with emoji

[folkert]

Hi,

It looks like printing UTF-8 emoji mangles the terminal when printed
from an ncurses application.
Situation is either putty on windows or gnome-terminal on linux, problem
happens on both.
Given this code example:
https://vps001.vanheusden.com/~folkert/ncursesw-utf8.cpp
and this example output:
https://vps001.vanheusden.com/~folkert/ncursesw-utf8.png
The program is compiled as follows:
g++ ncursesw-utf8.cpp -lpanelw -lncursesw
This should give two "windows". One on the left, one on the right. As is
visible, the border between the two windows is mangled when certain
utf-8 emoji are printed.

Is this a problem in ncursesw? Or am I doing something wrong?
