The text line break feature (multiline=True + width parameter) in Arcade is only effective for text separated by spaces
Words are separated by spaces and can wrap automatically ✅
No natural word boundary, cannot wrap automatically ❌
Best Solution: Use the zero-width space ZWSP (U+200B).
Then proceed with the normal drawing
arcade.Text(processed_text, ..., multiline=True, width=max_width)
ZWSP is not displayed but is recognized by Arcade as a line break point, perfectly resolving the Chinese line break issue.
Note: Both the arcade.Text object and the arcade.draw_text function have this limitation.
Suggestion For Fixing : For non letter characters, each character is counted as a word to group line breaks
