UTF-8 is a variable-length character encoding standard for Unicode characters. Unicode is a code table that lists the numerous scripts used by all possible characters in all possible languages. It also has a large number of technical symbols and special characters used in publishing. UTF-8 encodes each Unicode character as a variable number of one to four octets (8-bit bytes), where the number of octets depends on the integer value assigned to the Unicode character. For information about UTF-8 encoding, refer to RFC 3629 (UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO 10646) and the ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 Annex D. For information about Unicode, refer to The Unicode Standard.
Depending on the OS (operating system) your management system uses, you must install the appropriate language files in order to enter information in a specific language. For information about how to install language files, refer to the documentation that comes with your management system.

  • Object names that have data restrictions due to their usage outside of the Infoblox database do not support UTF-8 encoding. For example, IP addresses and Active Directory domain names.
  • When importing a database, most of the ASCII control characters cannot be encoded. This might cause failures in upgrades or database restore operations.
  • Search is based on the Unicode standard. Depending on the language, you might not be able to perform a case-sensitive search.
  • Binary data is encoded as text.
  • UTF-8 encoding does not fully support regular expressions. It matches constant strings. However, It does not encode characters that are inside square brackets or followed by regular expressions such as *, ?, or +.
  • You can use UTF-8 characters to authenticate both the User Name and Password through the Infoblox GUI, but not through the Infoblox CLI.
  • You cannot use UTF-8 characters to name a custom DHCP fingerprint. For information about DHCP fingerprint detection, seeĀ see DHCP Fingerprint Detection.
