Unicode Configuration Limitations

Following are the Unicode configuration limitations:
•

File Size and Directory Name

•

Clients Compatibility Problems

•

Japanese Compatibility Issues

File Size and Directory Name
The size of the file and the directory names are limited to 255 bytes, which
may be less than 255 characters when using Unicode, because each UTF-8
character occupies between 1 to 6 bytes.
Clients Compatibility Problems
In some cases different vendors use different UTF-8 encoding for the same
code page entries. The result will either be that these characters will not be
displayed, or that these will be substituted by other characters similar in
shape.
Japanese Compatibility Issues
Administrators using the CLI will be able to enter Japanese characters in
configuration parameters only through the web interface, because XTERM
applications such as KTERM does not enable you to use UTF-8 characters.
The following table details the Japanese incompatible characters.
