# Character encoding error

 * Some of the Korean characters and Korean Won currency symbol are broken.
 * For example, I input the estimated time for a course in Korean language like ’
   30일’, but it shows like ’30ì�¼’ as you can see on the page I mentioned above.
 * Also, I set the country and currency to be Korean, but it shows the net sales
   data to be ‘₩0.00’, not Korean Won symbol.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcharacter-encoding-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It’s very strange, I pasted ₩0.00, but it shows the correct Korean Won symbol.

 * Thanks for reporting this. I’m very frankly a bit ignorant to i18n and i18n-related
   issues. I do my best to communicate with our translators (we have a bunch) and
   I know there’s some very narrow-minded American- (or at least Western-) biased
   thinking governing some of the functionality in LifterLMS. I’m always trying 
   to expand my grasp of these concepts and fix LifterLMS to accommodate. I really
   heavily rely on users like yourself to let me know when stuff doesn’t work right
   in this domain so, thanks you!
 * That said, I just had a look at my local site and switched the currency to the
   Won (screencap of the frontend: [https://www.evernote.com/l/AUCzxbO1grJMSImUhrowbJj-vtqW6LX1OjwB/image.png](https://www.evernote.com/l/AUCzxbO1grJMSImUhrowbJj-vtqW6LX1OjwB/image.png))
   and it looks to be functional as expected to me. Of course I don’t have a Korean
   language file loaded so the rest is all in English but it seems like the currency
   symbol is functional.
 * And I copied your *correctly displaying* length example from above (30일) and
   pasted that into the course length area. Saved it and got what seems to be the
   correct result on the frontend (screencap: [https://www.evernote.com/l/AUA03Y7jvABJrLsNF2TXUIGPufGpzDrqXTAB/image.png](https://www.evernote.com/l/AUA03Y7jvABJrLsNF2TXUIGPufGpzDrqXTAB/image.png))
 * So, I’m scratching my head a bit too. I’m sure if I could reproduce this I could
   figure out what I’ve done wrong for you but I’m not seeing it.
 * Furthermore the link you provided above doesn’t appear to be showing the issues
   you’re reporting.
 * Can you let me know if you’ve fixed it?
 * If not, could you check if it’s potentially a plugin conflict (disable everything
   except LifterLMS — temporarily — and try to update the length again and see if
   that changes anything).
 * Thanks,
