In your example it looks like you used a tab char and 'set ts=8'
to move the '5' over. If 'set ts=8' then the '5' IS at column 9,
as it would be if you used spaces.

With vim 7.4.160 using %v all columns with '5' whether using a
tab char or expanded to spaces shows column 9.

" using %v, tab char the '5' and 'µ' are at column 9
123 56789
"äå µåäö"

" using %v, spaces the '5' and 'µ' are at column 9
123 56789
"äå µåäö"
