  What is the URL of your site as it seems you don’t have a site running on the wordpress.com platform.

  Hi @alertbreakingnews,

  What you’re seeing is UTF-8 character encoding for your slug. I suggest reaching out to your host to discuss options available to you — it looks like you’re with Hostinger, rather than WordPress.com.

  Hope that helps.
