Amazing fields: Chinese characters in JSON export... is this normal?

Question

Hi all.

As soon as I activate the "amazing fields" add on, there will be Chinese characters in the JSON export.

Like in the following line.

[{"id":"637ca9166634070380f074d4","idPlugin":"60e068efb294647187bbe4f5","scope":"card","idModel":"637ca8f637be7404f18b0e20","value":"{\"FD\":\"ᯡ࡞䰭惆ʐ㎡ᘧ堮戡㠨怭ᲀҌ䁣Ⱐ䰤䦹䐡ⰣจǠ֬匣ᠨӢ恖ᙞ滼ì8䈢㡸㦁ϡ&汾+䁈䳂⪠數䠡㌑ᤥ穪拢斣䎠㬽䁿ဠ \"}","access":"shared","dateLastUpdated":"2022-11-22T10:48:54.973Z"}]

Is this normal / expected behavior? I am a bit confused.

Thanks for your help.

Ok... thanks for clearing things up. I already thought, there were Chinese Hackers corrupting my data ;-)

Yes, that is expected.  That is encoded data stored inside the powerup data storage ("plugins" in the JSON output).  You can safely ignore it.

If you had other powerups installed you may see similar things depending upon how the powerup stores it's data.
