Description Konstantin Gribov 2015-03-02 15:32:49 UTC 
journalctl splits long messages (in utf8) without knowledge of utf8-encoded codepoints boundary, so some messages are shown as `[2.0K blob data]` because it starts with non-utf8 bytes.

Also journalctl ellipsis can cut line in the middle of utf8-encoded codepoint.

Env: CentOS 7.0, systemd 208, en_US.UTF-8 locale.

Sample from `journalctl -f -u ...` (contains both issues):

Comment 1 Zbigniew Jedrzejewski-Szmek 2015-03-02 17:35:07 UTC 
This was (or should have been) fixed in systemd-209. Can you check with a newer version?
Comment 2 Konstantin Gribov 2015-03-02 18:05:04 UTC 
I haven't system with 209, so I tested on 218. It works fine on it (generates unicode ellipsis with `journalctl --no-full`), so can be marked as not a bug.
