   Thanks for the explanation. While reading this, I did check the ASCII   
   table and the characters I'm referring to are all above 127. This also   
   is kind of reflected while using Golded, if I widen my screen more than   
   160 characters, less of those lines are wrapped to the next line.   
      
   However, it doesn't seem like I can widen my window enough to keep them   
   all on one line, so I'm guessing when they are translated to utf-8 they   
   are more than 2 bytes, since I'm well over double the width of an 80   
   character screen - which the original stat message was made for.   
      
   So, at this point it's basically working and displaying properly, but   
   then comes in the 'characters' vs 'bytes' thing that Golded isn't   
   supporting, so it is wrapping what it thinks is double, triple, or even   
   quadruple the amount of 'characters' that are there.

   Thank you for the explanation. This definitely helps me to understand   
   what is happening.
