describe-char and C-u C-x = neglect mentioning anything about width. Try
them on
$ unicode --max 0 --brief -r BOX.*X
☒ U+2612 BALLOT BOX WITH X
⮽ U+2BBD BALLOT BOX WITH LIGHT X
🗵 U+1F5F5 BALLOT BOX WITH SCRIPT X
🗷 U+1F5F7 BALLOT BOX WITH BOLD SCRIPT X
They go into great detail, but miss mentioning width.
Some occupy one column, some two, we can see that. But the commands
don't mention it. emacs-version "27.1".
