I was looking at something in my Registry when I noticed this entry. Should I delete it? Is it suspicious or what should I do about it? It looks like it was written in foreign characters. My OS Language is English.

There's tons of them in your registry. Just ignore them.
Microsoft seems to put them at the end of the alphabet.

This is the bottom of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT...

Is this on 22H2 as I am on 21H2.

Here is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

You'll see them in different locations. I just know I have some in HKCR.
The ones in my screenshot are mainly related to computer save games and in game cheat consoles.

I have no idea why they used Chinese characters. Maybe they ran out of windings and dingbats. :-)

It's a well known bug in Window's libraries, where character padding can force it to display strings in Chinese font. It doesn't affect the application, but only if you use Notepad or regedit to view data. The bug convinces Windows the string uses the high UTF-16 encoding, where all Asian characters live in the table.

Your app's developer could clean up the strings, but since the app works fine -- they aren't pushed to fix it.
