> An unexpected UTF8 character in a channel variable will either cause Asterisk to Segfault or to generate a harmless backtrace, depending on circucmstances.
> E.g. When using Set(), a harmless backtrace:

> However, I have previously had scenarios where the UTF-8 character pulled into the "callerid=" clause in a pjsip.conf endpoint and, when dialling that endpoint, Asterisk segfaulted.
> This is minor as I've mitigated this by stripping all UTF-8 characters, however, it would be better, in the long term, that Asterisk either ignore or strip or handle these characters rather than segfault.
