Calendar randomly changed language?

I noticed that my calendar was randomly changed to Korean, so I changed it back to English through settings.


Now my calendar is in English, but there’s mandarin letters under each date and month. I have no idea how to fix this.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi Kayla7287,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. Your calendar language should match that of your iPhone region and language. Use the following from Change the language and region on iPhone - Apple Support to make sure that your language settings are correct.


1. Go to Settings  > General > Language & Region.
2. Set the following:
• The language for iPhone.
• Your preferred form of address. (Choose feminine, masculine, or neutral. Turn on Share with All Apps so all apps personalize how they address you. Available for some primary languages, for example, Spanish.)
• The region.
• The calendar format.
• The temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
• The measurement system (metric, US, or UK).
• The first day of the week.
• Live Text (text you can select in images to copy or take action on).
3. To add another language and keyboard to your iPhone, tap Add Language, then select a language.


If your language settings are correct and the same occurs in your calendar, check to see if this happens with all calendars. The issue might be related to a specific calendar.


All the best.
