Bug Description

Package: emacs
Version: 1:26.1+1-3.2ubuntu2

How to reproduce:

1) Run emacs-gtk

2) Enter the text in the title ("long rightwards double arrow ⟹ should be longer and rightwards double arrow ⇒ should be shorter") into the scratch buffer

3) Observe that ⟹ (U+21D2) is shown short and ⇒ (U+27F9) is shown long in the emacs buffer (cf. the attachment). But it should be the other way round!

M-x describe-font [Enter][Enter] returns the following:

name (opened by): -DAMA-Ubuntu Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
       full name: Ubuntu Mono:pixelsize=13:foundry=DAMA:weight=normal:slant=normal:width=normal:spacing=100:scalable=true
       file name: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-R.ttf
            size: 13
          height: 14
 baseline-offset: 0
relative-compose: 0
  default-ascent: 0
          ascent: 11
         descent: 3
   average-width: 7
     space-width: 7
       max-width: 7

I see the symbol width as expected in the character table for the font Ubuntu Mono, therefore, I personally don't say that the font is guilty, though the reader may do it if they think otherwise.

As of now, on Ubuntu Focal, the long one arrow seems to be really longer than the short one, although the font file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-R.ttf seems to be still old (still dating 2011). The issue has probably been fixed. Please double-check and close if necessary.
