UTF-8 gets stripped in dialplans

You could try to change line 713 in extensions.conf:

exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)=${AMPUSERCIDNAME} <${AMPUSER}>)

to:

exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)="${AMPUSERCIDNAME}" <${AMPUSER}>)

or make it two lines (try this first):

exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${AMPUSERCIDNAME})
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(number)=${AMPUSER})

Thanks - the "" worked!. For me it was on line 702. here is the entire macro:

;
; ############################################################################
; CallerID Handling
; ############################################################################

;sets the callerid of the device to that of the logged in user
[macro-user-callerid]
exten => s,1,Noop(user-callerid: ${CALLERID(name)} ${CALLERID(number)})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CHANNEL:0:5}" = "Local"]?report) 
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${REALCALLERIDNUM:1:2}" != ""]?start)
exten => s,n,Set(REALCALLERIDNUM=${CALLERID(number)})
exten => s,n(start),NoOp(REALCALLERIDNUM is ${REALCALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,n,Set(AMPUSER=${DB(DEVICE/${REALCALLERIDNUM}/user)})
exten => s,n,Set(AMPUSERCIDNAME=${DB(AMPUSER/${AMPUSER}/cidname)})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["x${AMPUSERCIDNAME:1:2}" = "x"]?report) 
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)="${AMPUSERCIDNAME}" <${AMPUSER}>)
exten => s,n,Set(REALCALLERIDNUM=${DB(DEVICE/${REALCALLERIDNUM}/user)})
exten => s,n(report),Noop(TTL: ${TTL} ARG1: ${ARG1})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($[ "${ARG1}" = "SKIPTTL" ]?continue)
exten => s,n(report2),Set(_TTL=${IF($["foo${TTL}" = "foo"]?64:$[ ${TTL} - 1 ])})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($[ ${TTL} > 0 ]?continue)
exten => s,n,Wait(${RINGTIMER}) ; wait for a while, to give it a chance to be picked up by voicemail
exten => s,n,Answer()
exten => s,n,Wait(2)
exten => s,n,Playback(im-sorry&an-error-has-occured&with&call-forwarding)
exten => s,n,Macro(hangupcall)
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)=${AMPUSERCIDNAME} <${AMPUSER}>)
exten => s,n,Congestion()
exten => s,n(continue),NoOp(Using CallerID ${CALLERID(all)})
exten => h,1,Macro(hangupcall)

op's: please commit and close. Thanks!

If no other problems are caused could the " " fix be included in the dialplan.

[r4695]
This had been changed at once point, I think, because of proper CID format issues. I reviewed the Asterisk code and it appears to look for the " and remove them so this should be safe. Also tested with setting and noops and the display is the same, as well as calling a phone with both.

r4695 - will be out in next core update
