This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #7933: Encoding problem with EUC-KR to UTF-8 conversion affecting text display
  • #4320: Characters are encoding gibberish all over the frontend (TUI rendering issue)
  • #7484: Question tool fails to parse JSON with non-ASCII characters (UTF-8 encoding issue)
  • #5763: Unicode character in line causing rendering to count characters incorrectly
  • #3493: Korean (Hangul) characters display as broken/garbled in input field

The garbled character pattern (â) you're seeing is typical of UTF-8 encoding/decoding issues. These related issues suggest this may be a broader character encoding problem in the system.

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
