--- Comment #9 from Maik Qualmann <metzping...@gmail.com> ---
Thank you for the information provided.
I cannot reproduce the switch to Chinese characters in the digiKam view at the
moment, but the problem is clear. The Chinese characters are created in the
EXIF ​​user comment and are forwarded to XMP by the metadata editor.
The cause is that your EXIF ​​metadata in the image is encoded in big-endian
(Motorola).
As a workaround, you can enable writing with ExifTool, ExifTool generally
writes Exif metadata in little-endian (Intel) encoding.
I will fix the problem this evening.

Maik
