Currently, Facebook has not made an official comment on the above incident. This is not the first time this social network has encountered a display problem related to characters.

Facebook has been plagued with bugs that have affected user experience over the years. For example, in March, the social network lost photos from multiple locations on its accounts, causing users to worry.

In March, Meta's platforms also suffered a global outage, with Facebook and Instagram apps becoming inaccessible for more than 60 minutes. Many users were even automatically logged out, leading them to believe their accounts had been hacked.

Previously, the platform had encountered some similar technical issues when some accounts reported that their personal pages automatically changed to foreign languages ​​such as Chinese, Indian, Greek, etc.

On online forums, many users shared that the temporary solution is to clear browsing history, cookies, cache and restart the browser. If it cannot be fixed, users can switch to using other browsers until Meta fixes the error.

Thousands of accounts and malicious information have been blocked and removed on Facebook and TikTok. Not only have accounts and malicious information been blocked and removed, but the handling of the spread of fake news on social networks in recent times has also been actively implemented.
