(Migrated from github.com)

When moving the cursor while inside of a wide character, it will not move by the distance of a wide character, but instead of a regular character. gpu.get() cannot return any character for this scenario, and setting anything inside of a wide character will hide the wide character beforehand.

To fix this, the cursor must move by 2 in the X position when pressing right on a wide character, and move by -2 in the X position when pressing left and entering a wide character.
