Chinese fonts are not visible correctly in PowerBI Dashboard

[ShreyasK]

I have PowerBI dashboard which is uses CSV file as source file. In the CSV file, few column contain Chinese fonts and when I see the same data in dashboard, Chinese fonts are not correctly visible in dashboard visuals. Currently it looks like below -

Can you anyone please help and suggest, how we can make this Chinese fonts visible correctly.?

It sounds like it could be an encoding issue.

• When importing from CSV, there is an encoding parameter specified in the 2nd argument of the Csv.Document function, corresponding to the Code page Identifier.
  Power Query tries to detect the correct encoding but doesn't always get it right.
• Could you post a few examples of the current text displayed in Power BI Desktop alongside the expected Chinese text (in Unicode characters). That may help figure out the correct encoding.
• When viewing the table in Power BI Desktop in the Data view, does it appear as expected Chinese characters or the meaningless text?

@OwenAuger - Great ! I chnaged encoding parameter from 

1252

windows-1252

ANSI Latin 1; Western European (Windows)

TO 

20002

x_Chinese-Eten

Eten Taiwan; Chinese Traditional (Eten)

And now output results are as expected. Thanks for the solution.
