Thank you all for quick and enlightening analyses of my beginners like error.

I have used search for double spaces, wrong naming, whatever ... but that, that would never

even cross my mind.

Use vi Luke! vi!

Tnx again.

Your DESC contains an en dash (U+2014, \xe2\x80\x93). If I replace that
with a regular ASCII hyphen (U+002D, \x2d) then ldapsearch prints it
normally.
