Are you able to tell why this is needed? The default description is
an empty string, which should work fine with the logic currently
there.

(...)

This shouldn't be needed if your terminal is correctly setup either.

Smart will convert these strings to the preferred encoding
automatically (converting straight to utf-8 would break anyone
that doesn't use it).
