[Sip-implementors] FROM Header Query

[NK]

Dear All,

We are getting the below FROM header from one of my client. Can you please
help me to get the answer on this, whether this is valid format?
From: "\241\271\324jE\032 at d\200\252\bk\222\264" <sip:66877610383 at 1.1.1.1

;tag=3612846472-761912

Regards,

(I presume you are concerned with the display-name.)

It seems to be "valid", but the display name may not mean what was
intended. It is actually equivalent to the string that has all the "\"s
stripped:

"241271324jE032 at d200252bk222264"

(Each "\" just protects the following character from any *special*
interpretation.)

I presume it is intending \nnn to mean something, but I don't know what.

Thanks,
Paul
