Getting non-english for the pronoun field when looking up a user via the API

Has anyone else experienced getting non-English words in their response data from the API?

It has happened with other fields like name before but it stopped before I could get a copy of the data. This time it is the pronoun field for users and it looks like Arabic instead of English.

This is the data that I get back in the json response.

"pronouns": "هي/الخاص بها",
