UTF8 characters in system identity name crash console

When some UTF8 characters are put in /system/identity name (to be exact, I had a problem with letter “Ž”, didn’t investigate this much further) console (also ssh) crashes after trying to write something in console and error is shown: “Console has crashed; please log in again”. Seems to be v3.x and v4.x related.

Not really a huge problem, just wanted to save someone a few hours of upgrading/downgrading and banging their head trying to figure out why this is happening :wink:

emmm, even the forum and firefox can’t display that mysterious character :slight_smile: are you sure it’s UTF8?

Maybe your OS cannot display it? I can see it fine in Chrome on Ubuntu.

I can see and type “Ž” with no problems, but the OP posted something else.

Anyway, RouterOS only supports A-Z and that really shouldn’t come as a surprise

Well should have written non-ASCII character to be exact, but we’re really splitting hairs now, eh? Main point is - if you get that error, go check what is set in identity name…
