This bug is easily verified.

When typing custom signs, there's a limit for 26 bytes, but that means 26 English letters, but less than 26 for any other language. For example, Russian is limited to 14 letters.

See attached screenshot.

Depend on the encoding Unicode need 2 bytes for a char. In this case these 14 russian chars uses 28bytes of memory/data. With the same space you can, as you see, create a string with 26 ascii-chars.

Ah, but that's a little bit inconvinient to have that little space for signs. This space will fit for about from one to two average russian words -- for a good meaningful sign Russian users would need two signs at least.

Reason for closing: Won't fix

A result of Unicode. In the future text-length might be extended, but currently it won't.
