Not your fault. Qualcomm has a longstanding policy of total opposition 
-- not just disregard, opposition -- to any and all foreign languages 
and encodings. If it ain't Western, they ain't doin' it.

Turning to your question, can you post a link to the image? I learned to 
my chagrin recently that the letters I think I'm seeing can be very 
different from the letters that are really there...
