The %F format and the handling of * as a width or precision argument are extensions to the
POSIX
standard.
WARNING
The POSIX.2 printf facility (like the C language printf () on which it is based) does not
gracefully accommodate multi-byte characters when using %c conversion, or either of %b or
%s conversions with a specified precision. Use these features cautiously when you have
multi-byte characters in the character set.
