Chinese checkbox value error was created by bagebear

I got some problems when adding checkbox field to show on registration.
My site is multi-lingual, including English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
I want the checkbox value show both English and Chinese text, but after saving, Chinese text all become "???".

Is there any solution for this?

It uses and stores with UTF8. Your database table for field values probably isn't set to unicode. Check _comprofiler_field_values and ensure the collation for the table and columns is correct. The recommended these days is utf8mb4_unicode_ci.
