I used Kibana map, import geojson file download from [map.elastic.co](http://map.elastic.co) china\_provinces\_v1.geojson, but Chinese charactor unidentifiable. I get doc from Dev Tools and see unidentifiable chinese charactor.  
But if I use online elastic map service, the China provinces labal\_zh charactor right.  
I have tested in ES+Kibana versions 7.5.2 7.9.3 7.10.1 all same issue.

Hi @yorkzhang

Thanks for the post.  
This is a known issue when using the GeoJSON file upload.  
We hope to address it in the near future.

Best,

Hello,

This has actually recently been resolved [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/83122). The fix will be available in version 7.11.
