I am having a weird problem that only occurs when I paste a link from Google drive into iMessages on my iMac. The link is displayed in kanji characters e.g., 栀琀琀瀀猀
This does not happen if I paste the same link into any other application for example safari, mail, pages, etc.
Any ideas??
iMac 27″, macOS 11.0
I have this same issue. I happen to use Synergy to share a keyboard and mouse between a Mac and a PC, but I'm not sure that's the cause. It happens to me with just about any text that I paste in Messages if it came from the PC, but sometimes happens when the text originates from the Mac. It didn't start happening until I installed Big Sur 11.0.1.
Here are two ways I get around it: first paste the text into TextEdit, then copy it again and paste it into Messages. A simpler way is to just use Command+Option+Shift+V to Paste and Match Style when pasting the text directly into Messages.

Thank you so much! I was actually doing your first workaround myself didn’t know about the shortcut. I just installed the latest update to Big Sur 11.1 and it did NOT fix the problem.
You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know that Big Sur 11.1 was out -- it hadn't shown up in Software Updates yet. Too bad it doesn't fix the issue.
