Hi,

I'm getting the error message INVALID_KEYWORD_TEXT when trying to add
some of my keywords. I found this info on an old message, but the info
is several years old. Could anyone confirm if the following is still
true, or if there have been some changes.

Valid keywords are <= 80 characters, <= 10 words, and composed of
letters, numbers, and friends (' ', '#', '$', '&', '_', '-', '\"',
'[',
']', '\'', '+', '.', '/', ':', and '\u3000').

Non-ASCII characters should show up as references in your XML. E.g.:

<text>&#xE6;&#xF8;&#xE5;&#xE4;&#xFC;</text>
