Like std.strpad except count gives the number of Unicode code points for the output string rather than bytes.

Errors

This function requires the input strings s and pad to be UTF-8 encoded. If they are not, fastly.error will be set to EUTF8.

Example

utf8.strpad("abc", 7, "🌸🌼"); # gives "🌸🌼🌸🌼abc", seven code points total
std.strpad("abc",  7, "🌸🌼"); # gives "🌸abc" because 🌸 is four bytes
