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.
