Before this PR

import stringWidth from 'string-width'l

stringWidth("βœ”"); // 2
stringWidth("πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦"); // 2

After this PR

import stringWidth from 'string-width'l

stringWidth("βœ”"); // 1
stringWidth("πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦"); // 7

Fixes #56.

I got the idea about [...emoji].length from

https://github.com/mathiasbynens/emoji-regex/blob/8a6871a787a9c9441ed5a341951dcdb1fb3c1d1f/README.md?plain=1#L34

Maybe there is a better/more performant approach but that looks good to me.

Length is not the same as width. [...emoji].length counts length, not width.

Maybe I could recall stringwidth on the segment when the emoji regexp matches? πŸ€”
