I'd say that was correct.
13 is \r, i.e. carriage return.
When it's printed, it moves the
cursor to the left margin, but it does not
move to the next line. After 13, the next character
to be printed is " which overwrites the U in Unknown.
Finally, you output a \n which moves to the next line.

the problem is that when a whole bunch of charachters are running through
that statement and every now and then it looks messed up like that. but now
i understand why.

I don't think printf is supposed to do spelling checks. (Character)
