Research direction
The issue is about emoji display width in the terminal output. Investigate the Go code that prints weather icons (likely in src/ or similar files). Look for how emoji characters are handled and consider adding a configuration option for width adjustment. Review comments in the issue for user suggestions (e.g., using escape codes or spacing).
