    You site is lacking the <meta charset="UTF-8" /> tag telling the wayback machine what character encoding is used. It’s likely assuming some other encoding since you’ve not specified. This tag is especially important for non-Latin characters.

    Your html tag also says the page is in US English while it’s clearly not. This would not be the cause of gibberish text though. It’s just something I noticed.

    The lack of a charset tag is due to your theme. If your theme is not subject to periodic updates you could simply edit the appropriate template file, usually header.php but YMMV.

    I tried to insert this tag manually and with “Meta Tag Manager” plugin. No result. By the way, the change of permalink type helped, but I must find a solution to redirection problem.

    I’m not seeing the tag on the page you linked to. I also am not seeing any redirects. Do you have any server side caching? It may need to be flushed before the addition is evident.

    https://www.archive.is saves my non-Latin script pages, when I have switched to another permalink type under my old theme with “Redirection” plugin activated. But, saving my non-Latin script pages in https://web.archive.org is possible only after choosing a new WordPress theme.

    Using a different theme works because the charset tag is the responsibility of the theme to include in a page’s HTML. Most themes do this but the one you were using did not for some reason. Probably was just an oversight.

    I’ve no idea why applying a redirection plugin works. Whatever gets the job done ??
