I don’t know if this is on my end or something wrong with Wanikani coding but there are some Kanji appeared really weird. But when I go to the Kanji page the word return back to normal. So I wonder if there was a new updates recently that messed with the coding or not? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/c/6/e/c6efadcd869ec7c24520b1e56e809a374d984f0e.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/5/d/9/5d9e18234650f8f1da17442bf21d6f8c0da02474.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/0/3/e/03e3a7ee9160e862eed75709442f6296c8594088.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/b/7/6/b76666a3e92c4d401961823ca770857a220925ed.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/d/5/5/d55fcbd4d732a6dc49ad1af18028fa07f3a18b4e.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/c/8/a/c8a0753f262342aaecbfa029a350f99333579607.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/8/8/5/88532e1ac6c441d0bfdc702f41829c504e073b05.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/f/f/e/ffec809d4a07227231c17f7679d9eadea0513a0a.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/a/6/5/a656e848158aeb52983bc5857607c3f094029f70.png) ---

I think this is likely to be a font rendering issue that is somewhat specific to your setup? i’m unable to reproduce the bug with “sky”, for instance. ---

You are seeing a Chinese font instead of a Japanese one. Make sure you have your computer or browser set to have Japanese as a secondary language and it should fix the issue. ---

Yeah the slanted stroke on top of 宀 is typical of Chinese variants. Many systems will default to Chinese if not explicitly set up to favor Japanese. The way to do that varies depending on the operating system. ---

I fixed it now thank, I don’t know why it randomly showing a Chinese font but I check setting and set Japanese as secondary language and reset my pc seem to fix the issue.
