Looks like a codepage error for the character "°". Now its DGIV Gangnam style.

Can be fixed by using Multibyte or Unicode strings in the DGIV module, but only DanSteph can fix this. Do other add-ons or the stock MFD displays have similar problems for you?

I think the XR series multi-display area and secondary HUD also has problems on my computer too (in addition to this one; my computer uses traditional Chinese).

I am sure, my own add-ons could also have problems there.

SSU should be generally on the safe side, but we also put too little emphasis on localization currently. While project language is NASA english (which is a language of its own), there are many places where a benefit by having translations would be possible.

Yes Just Like this

its quite annying and also make hard to learn about orbiter...

Orbiter (and graphics clients too) use ANSI and not Unicode versions of functions, and because of that, there can be problems with displaying characters from above the ASCII range in non-English code pages.

Would changing Orbiter to Unicode be possible/feasible/worth the effort?
