Do we know if the asterisks count Unicode code points rather than bytes?

Doesn't really matter, the IME shows the input until you confirm which kanji you want.

  • When the IME inserts the character, it'll be made up of multiple bytes because of the nature of UTF-8, so it may appear as multiple asterisks regardless.

    • Most software, traditional sudo included, would respect the LC_CTYPE being set to an UTF-8 (or any of the older multi-byte encodings), and do proper character counting.

      At the very least, all GNU tools put a lot of focus on localization support, and I hope sudo-rs is the same.
