Chinese characters showing up as question marks

[Trudgeon]

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting Chinese characters to appear in Power BI.  They show up properly in Oracle and also in Excel after exporting from Oracle.  However, when I connect to the data using an ODBC connection, Power BI Desktop only shows upside down question marks.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

Chad

Hi @Trudgeon ,

I can't reproduce your issue. Please try to change the region in regional settings.

File > Options and Setings > Options

If it doesn't work, please try to connect to Oracle directly in Power BI.

Best Regards,
