Ok so a month ago I changed to comic sans ms for fun but it had a problem with Hebrew so I changed back to Segoe UI and now I have a problem of some text showing as squares like:
the time
play button in Groove music
checkbox
and some other stuff

I tried the control panel thing it didn't help (control panel>fonts>reset default settings )

I'm using
dell Inspiron 15 gaming
windows 10

Thanks.

Also, are you on a really old build of Windows 10? If you click Start, and type in winver and click on it, it will tell you your version. If its older than 1803 you should consider updating.

Well perhaps someone else on the forum that uses multiple languages can provide you with an answer, I'm out of ideas. I really don't think it's system corruption.. I think it has to do with unicode character displaying incorrectly because of language/region settings or misconfiguration.
