this is still happened in 5.9.3
Comment 2 Eike Hein 2017-03-07 14:27:35 UTC 
I think this is just a font issue - your main font doesn't contain Chinese characters, and you're getting them substituted in from a poor font with widely different metrics. I recommend installing some better Chinese  fonts.

that weird. I am actually has chinese font installed I think.
the konsole is using Noto Mono. and same result when using oxygen mono.
Comment 4 TOM Harrison 2017-03-07 14:41:37 UTC 
I am using Noto Mono. this weird will happened more ridiculous when using Oxygen Mono
Comment 5 TOM Harrison 2017-03-08 01:58:59 UTC 
OK, I found it. Noto Sans CJK and Noto Sans Mono CJK can not use in KDE5. it will generate weird font.
Comment 6 TOM Harrison 2017-03-08 02:26:42 UTC 
Same font on gnome has no this kind of error.
