Anybody knows what is these chinese symbols and how could it penetrate to RM? Code have no any specific symbol and works correctly, just sometimes i'm getting these errors in the log. It could be any random bang from my code, not only showed. :confused:

Windows 11 (had same problem for win10)
RM 4.5.4.3550

This has nothing to do with your OS or anything "penetrating to RM". There is an encoding problem with this skin. You might want to try using Notepad++ to convert the encoding to UTF-16 LE BOM (use the Encoding > Convert option). You can also convert it to ANSI and back (which will break the skin if it has Unicode in it) but it will let you find the bad characters in your code. The errors you see in the log are showing you where some of the encoding errors are located, but there could be more.
