Hello.
Mixing characters from differing languages causes the table column to fail to align.
See as follows.

True. Table alignment assumes you are using a fixed-width font, which
may or may not be possible with chinese characters.

there is no monospaced font for combining parts of Unicode?

Hello,
After discovering the (Mac Font Panel mode)
I can confirm the following fixed-width fonts
will line-up the table columns for Latin and
Han characters:
- Osaka
- HanaMinA
- HanaMinB
- PCMyungjo
Those HanaMin fonts you find at the font test
page at ctext.org

You can try https://github.com/tumashu/cnfonts to align columns in the table.
