my config looks like below,

```
<properties>
    <sonar.projectKey>P537</sonar.projectKey>
    <sonar.projectName>全渠道整合平台电子银行业务</sonar.projectName>
    <sonar.login>60b0638a137c5fa20e85477ab7c04923801df16b</sonar.login>
</properties>

```

but on sonarqube page, project name is displayed as "å…¨æ¸ é“æ•´åˆå¹³å°ç”µå­é“¶è¡Œä¸šåŠ¡  
"

Hi @West_Farmer!

Can you provide more information? Please answer the following:

- What kind of OS are you using? Windows? Mac?
- Which version of SonarQube are you running?
- Can you run your sonar analysis in debug mode `mvn clean install sonar:sonar -X` and share those logs with me? If you prefer a private message, just message me and we can talk about it there.

I tried doing a sample project with your name projectName and it worked on my macOS with UTF-8 encoding `[INFO] Default locale: "en_US", source code encoding: "UTF-8"` when I ran the sonar analysis.

Here is what it looked like:
