This issue has been resolved in the pre-release digiKam-8.8.0 version. The string is interpreted from the Exif comment, which is empty. Due to Exiv2 bugs, we now decode the Exif comment ourselves; this was unfortunately a bug in our functionality. You can disable reading of the Exif comment in the advanced metadata or use the pre-release version; in this case, rereading the metadata will be necessary.
