TL; DR: `current-column' returns `2' when the cursor is in the first
column and the line contains a single emoji or a Chinese character. The
expected value is `1' as happens when the line contains `a' or even the
highest defined codepoint in Unicode: `U+10FFFD'.
In the minimal working example below, you can see that `current-columns'
returns `1' when the line contains the character `a' and the cursor is
located after it.
,----
| cat ~/e/main.el
`----
,----
| (with-temp-buffer
| (insert "a")
| (end-of-line)
| (princ (current-column)))
`----
,----
| emacs -Q --batch -l ~/e/main.el
`----
