Make writing width aware so that emojis have a consistent width with padding #172

Description

@Insomniak47

Right now sometimes (depending on the font) we'll write out a line and we'll end up with the columns mismatching because even though the length of a string is x some emoji are rendered as single column and some are not (the fire emoji with the default mac font in the terminal IIRC).

When writing symbols we should check the before/after column of the terminal to determine if we've moved two full columns and then cache that value. Might just be easiest to do that in a wrapper around Console.WriteLine. To be honest we could probably just do it per line before we write the newline since that would be a good indicator though it might break down for languages with multibyte characters. Would be interesting to try it with Cyrillics.
