Cannot reproduce Weird symbols

[karnaf]

Affected version

2.0

I am not sure what happened but I started seeing these symbols in many places https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/t9fj44aphrjhv6h/chrome_2017-12-02_19-52-19.png

I tried rebuilding master data but it didn't help.
Any idea how to fix this?

Can we see this live somewhere? (Your license URL doesn't appear to resolve to a XenForo forum.)

Its not live yet, still testing on a private server.
I ended up dropping the database and restoring from a backup. I am still not sure what happened, I only updated 2 addons during the day.

I guess we can consider it solved unless it happens again.

Looks like some encoding error. Did you convert the database to a new typeset after installation? When done wrong, you can end up with double-encoded UTF8-characters, that tend to be some quirk like seen in your picture instead of the actual characters.

The strange part is that everything worked fine for half a day and broke only after that. If I did something wrong with the DB it should have been broken immediately, right? And not after half a day and updating some addons.
