Public bug reported:
I have a script that outputs arbitrary Unicode characters in neat
columns, but for anything outside the Basic Latin range (i.e. codepoints
> 127), the justification is off. For example, both below commands
should output a leading space:
$ printf "%2s\n" 'a'
a
$ printf "%2s\n" 'á'
á
The spacing problem starts between U+7F and U+80. If you try to print
two leading spaces, the same problem occurs between U+7FF and U+800.
This affects the binary /usr/bin/printf as well, but I'm not sure where
to report a bug for that.
