Start Screen With chines charakters

Hi rolf281,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like the language on your iPhone may have been changed. You can change it back to your preferred language using the guidance from Change the language on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

Take care.

rolf281,

To clarify, do you only see these characters on your Lock Screen, but once past it everything else is in your preferred language? For example, app names or the options in Settings, etc.

If so, do you recall any changes on your device? Did you recently install a new wallpaper, add any new apps, things like that?

Some additional details will help us better assist.

Take care.
