fantasai has already replied to this question. However, for the
record, IMHO, *if* such full-width characters were to be synthesized,
they would have to be the same width as a hypothetical typical kanji.
Since a unit for “typical kanji width” does not actually exist, the
closest approximation, the em, will have to be the target width.
