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 one and six bytes.

Clients Compatibility Problems

In some cases different vendors use different UTF-8 encoding for the same code page entries. The result is either be
that these characters are not displayed, or that these are substituted by other characters similar in shape.

Japanese Compatibility Issues

Administrators using the CLI are 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.
