Picasa don't read properly IPTC description edited by Xnview

I edited IPTC field "description" in my photos using Xnview. When I look at them in Picasa I don't see full written text. Only some letters or words.
Other applications like Irfanview, Exifer see full text in this field of my photos.
Are there any problems with writing in standard form this IPTC description field by Xnview?

XnView has no unicode capability, unlike most software, so that's probably where the problem comes from. :(
