Some fields do not display multi-byte characters correctly (2041837)
Details
Some fields in vCloud Connector do not display multi-byte characters (non-ASCII characters) correctly. If you specify multi-byte characters, a garbled value is displayed. Also, some commands might fail for objects whose names have multi-byte characters.
For example:
If you specify multi-byte characters in the SSL fields in the Server tab of the Server Admin Web console or the Node tab of the Node Admin Web console, a garbled value is displayed.
If you specify multi-byte characters in the Stretched vApp name field in the Stretch Deploy wizard, the stretched vApp name appears garbled in the destination vCloud Director cloud.
If you subscribe to templates that have multi-byte characters in their name, the names appear garbled on subscription folders on vCloud Director.
If you copy a vApp containing multiple VMs with multi-byte characters in their names, the names appear garbled in the destination.
If you use the Stretch Deploy command to move a virtual machine with multi-byte characters in its name, the command fails.
Solution
Do not use multi-byte characters (non-ASCII characters) while specifying names in vCloud Connector.
