[Solved] Efibootmgr taking double sized text.

Hello forum,
I made the way to boot directly the kernel, but I saw the result that takes unicode writing.
In my case the other entry is just a plain UTF8 and it works flawlessly.

$ efibootmgr -v
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0001
Boot0000* Linux Boot Manager    HD(1,GPT,6177b945-cc2d-4a95-9593-4d009cf6edda,0x800,0x32000)/File(\EFI\systemd\systemd-bootx64.efi)
Boot0001* Arch direct   HD(1,GPT,6177b945-cc2d-4a95-9593-4d009cf6edda,0x800,0x32000)/File(\vmlinuz-linux)r.o.o.t.=.L.A.B.E.L.=.L.i.n.u.x. .r.w. .i.n.i.t.r.d.=.\.i.n.t.e.l.-.u.c.o.d.e...i.m.g. .i.n.i.t.r.d.=.\.i.n.i.t.r.a.m.f.s.-.l.i.n.u.x...i.m.g.

I'm asking whether exists a way to avoid such expensive implementation.
EDIT
RTFM !
Forgotten to check what is ---unicode. I blindly copied and modified from the wiki.
