No - I didn’t encounter the same issue. I tested this and it worked fine for me. There is a similar post here: Cant add non English metadata after upgrade[OJS 3.2.0.0] - #4 by asmecher -
You may also wish to try upgrading to 3.3 - but that’s not guaranteed to resolve the issue - it may be an issue with the character encoding settings in your database - as per the post I link to (but I can’t say for certain).
