I usually use Japanese language and think that Zenkaku chrs. is counted as 2 columns.<br />
But, npp counts Zenkaku chr as 1 column.<br />
So, the position is not the same even if Col: count is same because the line contains some Zenkaku chrs.<br />
Are there anyone who found the same issue?</p>

<p dir="auto">I don’t know Japanese; please forgive me if I’ve missed the point in some way.</p>
<p dir="auto">The column (“col:”) in the status bar is just a count of characters from the beginning of the line, starting at one. (That’s not even always what you might expect; combining characters that form a single visible character are still counted separately.)</p>
<p dir="auto">Aside from a few things like cursor positioning, line wrapping and selection with the mouse, Notepad++ (like the <a href="https://www.scintilla.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Scintilla</a> control it uses for editing) doesn’t concern itself with the physical space occupied by characters. In English, we can use a proportional font, and a line of twelve characters will show the next “column” as 13, whether they are <strong>IIIIIIIIIIII</strong> or <strong>WWWWWWWWWWWW</strong>.</p>
<p dir="auto">So (though I haven’t attempted to test it), regardless of font, I would expect that there would be no recognition of the difference between half-width and full-width characters.</p>
