Description:
------------
When using a character like µ, printf is off by 1 character in length.  It is shorter that 15s.

printf("%-50s %15s %15s %15s %15s %15s" . PHP_EOL, "Function", "Num Calls", "Avg Time (µs)", "Sum Time (µs)", "Min Time (µs)", "Max Time (µs)");

Test script:
---------------
printf("%-50s %15s %15s %15s %15s %15s" . PHP_EOL, "Function", "Num Calls", "Avg Time (µs)", "Sum Time (µs)", "Min Time (µs)", "Max Time (µs)");

Expected result:
----------------
Expect it to be the correct spacing
