Copying originally English text in InDesign and it's pasting as Chinese characters
Really weird - been trying to copy and paste directly from an indesign file to external documents while sub-editing a page, and noticing it's pasting as a string of Chinese characters.
E.g. see attached screenshot is pasting as:

But only into certain programmes. Pastes in English in google search or directly into a google chat, but pasted into Whatsapp desktop or a fresh email or apple notes app (etc) it pastes as Chinese characters...
For reference, using InDesign 2023, font is Adobe Caslon Pro, language is set to UK English...

Added comment: I've been working from a public wifi (British library). Is it possible that's affecting? I know they're having a cyber security nightmare...
