Garble

In telecommunication, the term garble has the following meanings:

Garble in transmissions

An error in transmission, reception, encryption, or decryption that changes the text of a message or any portion thereof in such a manner that it is incorrect or undecryptable.

Garble in telephone circuits

In a telephone circuit or channel, readily audible but unintelligible interference from another circuit or channel.

Garble may, for example, take place in an FDM telephone carrier system in which an interfering signal from another channel or system is demodulated in such a fashion that it has an objectionable audio power level but is nonetheless unintelligible.

Garble Itasan - September 15th, 2006
I'm Japanese. I frequently experience such cases as follows: 1. Even if I send out messages on the Internet in English, some parts like " ' (quotation marks), parentheses, etc. seem to appear in completely different characters for some foreign readers. 2. When I receive messages with French words in them (for example), some parts are illegible, especially the accent symbols, etc. 3. If I send my message in Japanese characters, they appear in completely different characters for those who don't have the Japanese system installed. Do you call those 'garbled characters', 'garblings', etc.? If not, what term do you read more » messages 1
