I got an error message with asian writing, is it a virus?

I can't remember what the error message said, but it came right after firefox crashed, and it was definitely a window from my computer, on the top bar was all asian characters, and the error message was in english but didn't sound right. I just clicked the x rather than the ok button.

What could this be? Is my computer hacked? What precautions should I take? I'm already running an avg free scan, and will later run a malwarebytes scan.

    Binary symbols are sometimes interpreted as Chinese symbols. Just relaunch and you should be perfectly fine.
