Summary:
This is consistent with MacOSX implementation, and most terminals
actually display this character (checked on gnome-terminal, lxterminal, lxterm,
Terminal.app, iterm2). Actually, this is in line with the ISO Latin 1 standard
(ISO 8859-1), which defines it differently from the Unicode Standard. More

Summary:
This is a second attempt to get this right. After reading the Unicode
Standard I came up with the code that uses definitions of "printable" and
"column width" more suitable for terminal output (i.e. fixed-width fonts and
special treatment of many control characters).
The implementation here can probably be used for Windows and MacOS if someone
can test it properly.
The patch addresses PR14910.
