Do you use AppImage bundle for Linux ? Gilles Caulier The font for the tree views can be configured in the digiKam settings under View. Possibly a font selected that does not represent the characters?

I tried with known "good fonts", Arial and Calibri, but it did not solve it. Perhaps you use a wrong locale on Windows host settings ? But how did you created these tags ? directly with tag manager or you import tags from image files metadata ? (In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #6) > But how did you created these tags ? directly with tag manager or you import > tags from image files metadata ? If I remember correctly, I created these tags with the 7.0.0rc version of Digikam. I was just starting out organizing my image collection. (In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #5) > Perhaps you use a wrong locale on Windows host settings ? That could be, but is that a locale setting for DigiKam or just in general for all apps ? I am not aware of any other apps showing the same issue. Typing in MSINFO32.exe I find that the locale is indeed United States. Perhaps I need/should change it ? What impact would that have on other applications ? Git commit 2fb4014c202b7731d0f3938d52c6c170de7ab4a1 by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 25/10/2020 at 06:03.

Do you have instructions ? Right now you don't need to do anything. This commit will be available in a new Beta1 bundle for Windows in the next few days. Then you can check in the database statistics tool which locale is set in your system and in the database. Another question, can you create a new tag that has correctly coded characters? Maik Hi Kristjan and happy new year, Please test with current digiKAm windows installer 7.5.0 pre-release. And look the last Q from Maik in this thread. https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Best regard Gilles Caulier @Kristjan digiKam 8.0.0 is out. This entry still valid with this release ? Best regards Gilles Caulier (In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #13) > @Kristjan > > digiKam 8.0.0 is out.

Created attachment 132551 [details] Shows a part of my tags with the question mark diamonds. SUMMARY When entering Icelandic characters, the characters are replaced with "question mark diamonds" STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enter foreign characters in Tag 2. Observe them later to have changed OBSERVED RESULT It is not clear to me when this happened. At first things seem fine and I have tagged hundreds of pictures. Then after an upgrade from 7.0.0 RC to 7.1.0 I noticed the behaviour mentioned. It is possible the tags had changed before upgrade, but I did not check. EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
