Looks like C in the backend.

Our version of snprintf intentionally counts bytes not characters,
so that it does not have to make assumptions about what encoding
the given string uses.  It's somewhat unclear whether the C/POSIX
standard mandates either of these interpretations.  The GNU
implementation of snprintf tries to count characters.  But in the
cases where that's mattered to us at all, it's generally been the
wrong thing, because glibc didn't necessarily know the encoding to
use.  That's one reason why we stopped relying on libc's snprintf.

The way to get this to work as Celso wishes would be to count
characters and then do his own arithmetic about how much padding
to add.
