I use composition in prettify-symbols-mode to render a symbol in a
two-space field, e.g. to visualize a ‘!=’ sequence as a '(?\s (Br .
Bl) ?\s (Bc . Bc) ?≠) composition. Pretty sure that any CJK glyph, if
its width is less than two spaces, can also be padded that way. No
idea how to arrange for the compositions to be used for all CJK
characters though.
