Chinese Characters for Location

Hi,

I shared my location from my iPhone, and they told me that it had Chinese characters above it. Those characters have gone away, but I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my phone.

iPhone SE, iOS 11.3.1

Sharing my location via the Messages app shows up as Chinese text for my location. Looks like this has been going on for years with little written about it anywhere online. Also no response from Apple. I'm simply restarting this conversation to see if there has been any new updates regarding this issue. Like many others I do not have any message app add on applications. This was happening on my wife's phone much earlier than mine. Her phone started doing this a year or two back. Mine just recently started doing it. Both of our phones are always up to date with the latest and greatest OS and apps. She has an iPhone 8 and I an iPhone 7. Also since this started happening on our phones we noticed our batteries draining faster than normal. Usually not lasting the whole day. Of course my mind goes straight to malware or some type of hack. What have you experienced?
