And done.  FYI, we actually have a standard practice for error
messages that want to complain about a single character without
assuming it's a single-byte character:

                ereport(ERROR,
                        errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
                        errmsg("invalid character in salt string: \"%.*s\"",
                               pg_mblen(ep), ep));
