 ## `maxBuffer` and Unicode
 
-It is important to keep in mind that the `maxBuffer` option specifies the
-largest number of *octets* allowed on `stdout` or `stderr`. If this value is
-exceeded, then the child process is terminated. This particularly impacts
-output that includes multibyte character encodings such as UTF-8 or UTF-16.
-For instance, the following will output 13 UTF-8 encoded octets to `stdout`
-although there are only 4 characters:
-
-```js
-console.log('中文测试');
