That is because '%c' is not a valid format specifier. 

See http://www.digitalmars.com/d/phobos/std_format.html for details.

Use '%s' instead and it will format your character as a string.

D's writefln is different to printf(). The format specifiers in D just tell
D how you want it formatted, not what datatype you are supplying. It knows
that already.
