Getting Chinese character instead of note value in tempo marking
After installing MuseScore, I opened Reunion. Most things seem fine, except for the tempo marking. Instead of a quarter note, I get a Chinese character. This is on Windows 10, MuseScore 3.5.2.
Thanks,
David

I experienced this problem a few months ago, what found my issue was that I was copy and pasting tempo markings, perhaps that is what you are doing? What I do now is either use the default tempo markings, or editing/adding text, type in the text I want (e.g. "Adagio Appassionata"), and go to special characters (bottom leftmost corner) to add the beat I want (e.g. quarter note) while still in the text box. Hopes this helps!

I get this just from opening an existing score (Reunion, that comes with MuseScore). I don't think I ever edited it.
I've found that this consistently happens in the Musescore 4 builds as well
Works just fine for me, Windows 10, MuseScore 3.5.2 as well as 3.6(.o)
Which copy of Reunion did you open? Mine works fine. Can you attach the actual score?

I'm opening the one that shows up in the start center. It looks like just one from the demos directory. I'll attach it to make sure it didn't get corrupted. I have seen a few other scores with Chinese characters showing up in weird places. (DS al Chinese-character, for example).

No Chinese character in that one for me

There wouldn't normally be anything in the Start Center until you had opened it previously - it's a list of recent files. So I guess maybe you opened the one from the demos directory recently? Anyhow, that file you attached opens fine for me, regardless of which options I choose in the import dialog as far as I can tell, but feel free to tell me which you chose so I can be sure to try that combination.

It does appear that I see these occasional Chinese characters in many scores I open. Interestingly, I don't see it when I add a tempo marking to my own scores, so fortunately, it isn't affecting what I'm trying to do much.
I wonder if there is something specific about my Windows machine that would be causing this.
