with 'encoding' set to "utf-8" there is a quite confusing (to me)

And additional remark. As James noted, \%c
is not character offset (in case of multibyte chars),
but the bytes offset.
In case you want to match
not by visual columns (\%v) and not by byte
offset, but by character index in the line, you
can do this:
/^.\{22}xyz
This matches xyz at 23nd char position,
correctly counting each multibyte chars and
each single char for 1 position. Does this
possibly solve your matching problem ?
