Sorry, I should've clarified that I'm not making an assumption. I'm
talking about the actual terminals that exist. The fact that all of
them render Private Use Area characters as narrow means that zsh is
doing the right thing by treating them as narrow.

This code shows how zsh treats characters from Private Use Area. The
output doesn't depend on or require a terminal. I wanted to show that
zsh handles characters from Private Use Area just fine. The only place
I know of where zsh cannot handle them is BUFFER.
