My site appears in Google in Chinese characters
-
My site: (www.romanticbohemian.net) looks fine if you click on it, but if I Google my site’s name- it shows up in Chinese/Japanese characters! It wasn’t doing this last week and no major changes have been made to the site. Same if i try to use the Share This social media sharing buttons- the reshare preview window shows up with a non-related photo and Asian characters. Please Help!

Hi there,
I’m not getting that issue when I add the domain into Google. Have you tried a different browser other than Safari to see if searching the site name yields the same results?
However, romanticbohemian.net is not hosted at WordPress.com. As such, we are unable to provide any direct assistance in this manner.
The fact that the site may have been built using WordPress, or may mention ‘Powered by WordPress’ (or something similar) simply means it is using the WordPress.org software, which can be downloaded and installed on any web host.
If you’re interested, you can learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:
I would recommend getting in touch with your host or domain registrar for support, or checking out these resources if your site was indeed built with WordPress software:

Hi Darnell,
Thanks for the fast response. I actually checked in with my hosting service and said I have to submit my site URL to Google, and they would deal with it. So, hopefully it will be set right soon!
Best,
Greg.
