I did. What I get is:

foo…                                            bar
 `bar' starts at the column 48
foo**                                           bar
 `bar' starts at the column 48

But I don't understand why or how that's relevant. For (string-width
"…"), I get an answer of '1'...


I also tried the following, which also gives me values of one for everything:


(let ((ellipsis "…"))
  (dolist (enc
	 '((us_ascii      . raw-text)
	   (us-ascii      . raw-text)
	   (gb2312	  . cn-gb-2312)
	   (cn-gb	  . cn-gb-2312)
	   (iso-2022-jp-2 . iso-2022-7bit-ss2)
	   (iso-2022-jp-3 . iso-2022-7bit-ss2)
	   (tis-620	  . tis620)
	   (windows-874	  . tis-620)
	   (cp874	  . tis-620)
	   (x-ctext       . ctext)
	   (unknown       . undecided)
	   (x-unknown     . undecided)
	   (windows-1250  . cp1250)
	   (windows-1251  . cp1251)
	   (windows-1252  . cp1252)
	   (windows-1253  . cp1253)
	   (windows-1254  . cp1254)
	   (windows-1255  . cp1255)
	   (windows-1256  . cp1256)
	   (windows-1257  . cp1257)
	   (windows-1258  . cp1258)
	   (euc-jp	  . euc-japan)
	   (shift-jis     . shift_jis)
	   (shift_jis     . shift_jis)
	   (sjis	  . shift_jis)
	   (x-euc-jp      . euc-japan)
	   (x-shift-jis   . shift_jis)
	   (x-shift_jis   . shift_jis)
	   (x-sjis	  . shift_jis)))
  ; test #1
  (with-coding-priority (list (cdr enc))
    (message "%d: %s"
      (string-width ellipsis)
      (car enc)))
  ; test #2
  (message "%d: %s"
    (string-width (decode-coding-string ellipsis (cdr enc)))
    (car enc))))
