When you specify a description, follow these guidelines:
• Each Unicode character takes the space of two regular characters.
• To use Unicode characters or symbols in an interface description, install a specific IME and log in
to the device through remote login software that supports the character type.
• When the length of a description string reaches or exceeds the maximum line width on the terminal
software, the software starts a new line. This possibly breaks a Unicode character into two and
creates garbled characters at the end of a line.
