| property     | context    | context        |
| F(Fullwidth) | 2          | 2              |
| H(Halfwidth) | 1          | 1              |
| W(Wide)      | 2          | 2              |
| Na(Narrow)   | 1          | 1              |

In a CJK environment, it is more natural to set the Ambiguous character width to 2Cell.

About Emoji

Emoji property is other propery from East Asian Width property.

In the CJK environment, as with the East_Asian_Width property, Characters that are not 1-byte in non-Unicode character codes, 2-cell is more natural.

In non-CJK environments, many characters handling 1cell is natural, because 2cell characters did not exist in traditional character codes. Emoji with code points U+1F000 or higher that did not exist before Unicode, so they may be handled as 2-cell characters.

The following information is used to determine Emoji.

However, code points less than U+0080 are not treated as Emoji
