Problem Note 62585: Japanese characters are incorrectly rendered as question marks (?) in the model group execution log

DetailsAboutRate It

In SAS® Risk and Finance Workbench, Japanese characters are incorrectly rendered as question marks (?) in the model group execution log. Sometimes the question marks appear inside black diamonds:

Japanese characters and black diamonds containing question marks

There are no errors.

This issue occurs because Japanese characters require multiple bytes in UTF-8, which is not handled well for the logs. 

There is no workaround for this issue.

A hot fix is planned for this issue.
