Japanese Katakana characters do not display properly for Featured Polls. Other non-ASCII characters also do not display properly. Since IMDb polls seldom use non-ASCII characters, this is rare problem and difficult to duplicate.
As of 9:00 PM Central Daylight Time (7:00 PM Pacific) this is the view of the Featured Poll. It will change once new polls are pushed. The characters チャンバラ are displayed as ?????.

It looks like the tech team corrected the issue.

However, it may only be a problem with the main poll page.

I will wait for your confirmation before I consider this problem solved.
