emojis inside PS1 offset cursor by 1

• OS version and name: High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C88)
• Hyper.app version: Hyper 1.4.8 (stable)

Issue

If I include an emoji inside PS1 my terminal cursor has an offset of 1.

export PS1="\w " # works export PS1="\w 🐱" # issue

Any idea on what to do?

Notice the space after the ghost. It appears in hyper like so:

You can see the ghost is taking up two character spaces. If I replace the ghost with a letter, like A you’ll get:

To compare, this is what it looks like in my IDE. Ghost+space+“clear” against “A”+space+“clear”.
