Using multibyte (non-ASCII) characters in device attributes
You can use multibyte character strings from discovered devices in the device record in the topology. For example, you can display devices using non-ASCII characters in the display name.
About this task
Some devices can return data that contains multibyte data. Usually, this data is interpreted as ASCII data, and therefore corrupted. If you want to use multibyte data in device records you must first define the MIB variables as potentially containing multibyte data.
By default, sysName, sysDescr, sysLocation, and sysContact, are all defined as potentially containing multibyte data.
