Garbled Japanese Characters in RDP via Fortigate Web Portal

[yuji]

Product: FortiGate 60F

Version: v7.4.5

When using RDP through the Fortigate web portal, the characters in the browser tab appear garbled, as shown in the attached image. I understand that the issue is likely due to the presence of Japanese characters in the RDP name. Could you suggest any solutions to display the characters correctly without garbling?

Hi yuji,

1. Ensure that the keyboard layout setting for the RDP connection is correctly configured for Japanese. You can set the language parameter to "ja" when entering the RDP to Host information.

2. Verify that the system you are connecting to has Japanese language support installed and enabled.

3. Check the regional settings on both the local machine and the remote server to ensure they are set to Japanese.

4. If the issue persists, try changing the font settings within the RDP client to a font that supports Japanese characters.
