letters), special English characters, spaces, and other characters or symbols that conform to the
Unicode standard.
A port description can be the mixture of English characters and other Unicode characters. The
mixed description cannot exceed the specified length.
To use a type of Unicode characters or symbols in a port description, you need to install the
corresponding Input Method Editor (IME) and log in to the device through remote login software
that supports this character type.
Each Unicode character or symbol (non-English characters) takes the space of two regular
characters. When the length of a description string reaches or exceeds the maximum line width on
the terminal software, the software starts a new line, possibly breaking a Unicode character into
two. As a result, garbled characters may be displayed at the end of a line.

Use the undo description command to restore the default.

GigabitEthernet1/0/1 Interface for example.
