Well i did some checks fast,
i inspected the configuration backup that failed .
i tested SSID with 'محمد'
Although the result is option ssid 'محم�
so i opened it with hex editor
[image: image.png]
analysis says
- *Expected SSID*: The SSID should be محمد, which in UTF-8 encoding
consists of the following Unicode characters:
- م (U+0645) → UTF-8: D8 85
- ح (U+062D) → UTF-8: D8 AD
- م (U+0645) → UTF-8: D8 85
- د (U+062F) → UTF-8: D8 AF
- So, the full UTF-8 sequence for محمد should be: D8 85 D8 AD D8 85 D8 AF
.
- *Actual Data in Hex Editor*:
- You provided the hex string 27 D9 85 D8 AD D9 85 D8, which translates
as follows:
- 27 = ' (single quote, likely the opening quote of the SSID value).
- D9 85 = م (U+0645, correct for the first م).
- D8 AD = ح (U+062D, correct for ح).
- D9 85 = م (U+0645, correct for the second م).
- D8 (incomplete, truncated or corrupted) — the sequence ends
prematurely, missing the final د (U+062F, which should be D8 AF).
- This indicates the UTF-8 data is partially correct but truncated or
corrupted, missing the last character (د).
- In Visual Studio Code, it shows محم�, where the � (replacement
character) indicates an invalid or incomplete UTF-8 sequence, confirming
truncation or corruption.

this might give you a hint to guide me where to look further
