Japanese characters are garbled in Inspector

Yuji | Last updated: Apr 22, 2023 06:35AM UTC

Japanese characters are garbled in Inspector. My settings are as follows: (settings > User interface > Inspector and message editor) HTTP message display Font: MS ゴシック Character sets Use a specific character set: UTF-8 Japanese characters in HTTP response are displayed correctly, but they aren't in Inspector for some reason. Any way to solve the issue?

Unfortunately, the Inspector table view does not support multi-byte characters. We have raised a bug report to change this behavior. In the meantime, you can use the main editor to edit your text. Alternatively, if you highlight the text in the editor, you can use the selected text option in the Inspector panel.

Hi Hannah-san, I'm still facing the same issue in the latest version, v2024.9.1. I'd be glad if you could share the status of the bug fix.

Hi. Unfortunately, we do not have an update on this bug. I've added your +1 to this bug report to help us track the number of affected users. You should still be able to edit the data either using the main editor panel, or highlighting the text and using the "Selected text" option in the Inspector panel.

Hi Hannah-san, Even after I use the "Selected text" option, the requests actually sent contain garbled characters. So, I cannot send Japanese characters from Intruder at all now. It seems to happen in Repeater as well under certain conditions. Additionally, not only me, but at least 3 other Professional version users in my company are facing this issue. If there is any information you require to fix it, or if there is anything else I can do to assist in resolving this issue, please let me know. Thank you.

It sounds like you may be experiencing this issue in a slightly different place than the original poster. Could you drop us an email at support@portswigger.net with some more information and some screenshots?

Ok. Please let me explain it via email within this month. Thank you.
