(shr-string-pixel-width
 (propertize "칹a" 'display '(space :relative-width 1)))
=> 22

(shr-string-pixel-width
 (propertize "a칹" 'display '(space :relative-width 1)))
=> 22

The first one should be a lot wider than the second, but I seem to be
getting the exact same width no matter what I do?

The only in-tree usage is this:

(defconst org-table-separator-space
  (propertize " " 'display '(space :relative-width 1))

And that's concat-ed with other bits.

(let ((start (point)))
  (insert "칹a")
  (put-text-property start (point) 'display '(space :relative-width 1)))

seems to give the same results...
