title: Formatting columns containing non-ascii characters
body: <p>So I want to align fields containing non-ascii characters. The following does not seem to work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for word1, word2 in [['hello', 'world'], ['こんにちは', '世界']]:
      print "{:&lt;20} {:&lt;20}".format(word1, word2)
  
  hello                world
  こんにちは      世界
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a solution?</p>
