    If I set characterLimit = 4.
    I can type in ABAB or ABＣＤ. But ＣＤ is 2x wider than AB. Because they are full-width characters. It may overflow the inputfield.
    Could you please add a new property such as characterWidthLimit? If I set characterWidthLimit= 4. I can only type in ABAB or ABＣ or ＣＤ.
    CJK characters are almost full-width characters.
    Thank you!

    This seems like a bug as the character limit should be whatever you set regardless of the actual width of those characters.

    I will look into that as soon as I have a chance.

    Yes,character limit is whatever I set regardless of the actual width of those characters. Either a halt-width character or a full-width character is regarded as one character.
    But we want a full-width character regarded as two characters. Because it's double wider than a halt-width character.
    Could you please add a option such as "full-witdh character regarded as 2 charaters" to support it?
