But nb_NO and nn_NO produce the wrong output when using integers (%'10d). However, float is fine as well (%'10.0f). For nb_NO and nn_NO, the separator is a 3-byte UTF-8 character 0xe2 0x80 0xaf, which is UTF-8 NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE -> https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202f/index.htm . It seems that for integer formatting, the number of bytes is processed, instead of counting the actual characters. For float formatting, the number of characters is counted correctly. That is: $ LC_ALL=nb_NO.UTF-8 ./printfbug 1000 | hexdump -C 00000000 54 68 6f 75 73 61 6e 64 73 20 53 65 70 61 72 61 |Thousands Separa| 00000010 74 6f 72 3a 20 3c e2 80 af 3e 0a 64 6f 75 62 6c |tor: <...>.doubl| 00000020 65 20 3c 20 20 20 20 20 31 e2 80 af 30 30 30 3e |e < 1...000>| 00000030 09 69 6e 74 20 3c 20 20 20 31 e2 80 af 30 30 30 |.int < 1...000| 00000040 3e 0a |>.| 00000042 I can reproduce the issue under Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04 (development version), and Fedora 39.

To reproduce: #!/bin/bash for l in de_DE en_US nb_NO ; do echo "LC_NUMERIC=$l.UTF-8" for n in 1 100 1000 10000 100000 1000000 10000000 ; do LC_NUMERIC=$l.UTF-8 /usr/bin/printf "<%'10d>\n" $n done done The expected output of "%'10d" is a right-formatted number string with 10 characters. The output of the test script is fine for e.g. LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 and LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8: LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 < 1> < 100> < 1.000> < 10.000> < 100.000> < 1.000.000> <10.000.000> LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 < 1> < 100> < 1,000> < 10,000> < 100,000> < 1,000,000> <10,000,000> However, for LC_NUMERIC=nb_NO.UTF-8 and LC_NUMERIC=nn_NO.UTF-8, the formatting is wrong: LC_NUMERIC=nb_NO.UTF-8 < 1> < 100> < 1 000> < 10 000> < 100 000> <1 000 000> <10 000 000> LC_NUMERIC=nn_NO.UTF-8 < 1> < 100> < 1 000> < 10 000> < 100 000> <1 000 000> <10 000 000> I reproduced the issue with coreutils-8.32-4.1ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 22.04) as well as coreutils-9.3-5.fc39.x86_64 (Fedora 39).
