Chinese characters showing up as question marks

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,

Hi @Trudgeon ,

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

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