    Hello,

    This is not a problem with Polylang. If you adeactivate it,the problem will persist. This comes from a wrong character encoding. There are several places where you can have selected a wrong encoding: wp-config.php, database (most frequent). You must select UTF8.

    our developer said it’s already UTF 8? “database charset to use in creating database tables

    forgot to mention that the website used to be on wordpress.com and did not have this problem before migrating to wordpress.org. we also changed the theme to make sure it’s compatible with Arabic.

    all these variable_names
    character_set_client
    character_set_connection
    character_set_database
    character_set_filesystem
    character_set_results
    character_set_server
    character_set_system

    all value are set to “utf8mb4” except for variable_name filesystem which is “binary”
