This seems like a bug so it would definitely belong in the "Bugs and Support" forum.
That being said, it is probably your PDF viewer. Some outdated PDF viewers have this issue. For example the default PDF viewer on iOS doesn't show fillable fields at all.
Have you tried downloading Adobe Acrobat Reader? It is the most commonly used program and is free to download.
I would suggest log a ticket. Make sure to include your character URL. They reply rather quick and can have a look if it's a bugged character or something.
Does it happen on other characters or just the one? Have you tried exporting again?
Edit: Also may be worth "Copying" the character and seeing if that exports with the same bug
All cyrillic characters are broken (see screenshot link). Each time I send my players invitation to campaign I'm checking on char sheet status and no changes yet. Copying char sheet doesn't change cyrillics in exported char sheet. As I understand - .pdf file use wrong encoding and probably can be fixed with few parameters in code.
Same problem. It was broken with not only cyrilc symbols. Wrong encoding - need Unicode. I think It's problem in transfer JSON to PDFSharp addon - JSON value in UTF-8, but in PDFSharp need activate translate option: XPdfFontOptions options = newXPdfFontOptions(PdfFontEncoding.Unicode, PdfFontEmbedding.Always);
Guys, it's not serious - it's been almost a month, you just need to enable Unicode support. We live in the 21th Millennium, take seriously the provided PAID services.
"Best answer" from support for 75 days old unresolved bug: "Also bumping threads is prohibited". Did you even read what was in topic few messages higher? I quoting my answer to somebody with name "AngelBob3": "Yes, file was tested in fresh Adobe Reader, FoxPdf and Chrome pdf viewer". And speaking about answers. Correct one looks like: "Thank you for informing us about aforementioned bug. International users are important for us but we are not fully ready to go thru testing and we relying on good will of our users and reports like this one. Let me inform you in two weeks what was done to resolve this situation".
This is the first time I've read this particular thread.
First off, thank you for raising this here - did you raise a ticket to support about this, as the user on 22nd July suggested?
Whilst the forums are monitored, sometimes threads get missed due to the time that they're posted or commented on. From the lack of replies from moderators or staff, I expect this is the case here, which is unfortunate.
I understand the frustration that this feature doesn't work with the extended character set, but please refrain from attacking other users who are trying to help.
I have asked the developers to take a look at this.
All characters in exported char sheet are beyond readable. See example: https://imgur.com/a/c4l5ub9
Default 5e char sheet works with Cyrillic's but not char sheet from dndBe.

Should I move this topic to Bugs & Support ?

Any news for international audience?

Have you tried using Adobe PDF reader? It is the most widely used application and is available for free.

Do you need any help with testing? I can imagine the fix is as easy as set the serializer to use utf-8
