I see your homepage in your sitemap and there is nothing in your robots.txt file to prevent indexing that page, so I’m would guess that Google just has not refreshed their own cached index of that URL yet. I also still see one listing in the Google search results for your site that shows the Chinese characters you were talking about, but that links to a 404 on your site, so it should also fall out of the search index in time (whenever Google gets around to rechecking the cache they have of that page and see that it is now a 404).
It looks to me like you have done everything right and the site look clean now, so it is just a matter of getting Google to finish updating their indexes of your site. There should be a way for you to request a review of those pages in your Google Console (Webmaster Tools) account. You can try the manual process of “Fetch as Googlebot” to verify that the Chinese character page does actually render a 404 for the Googlebot when you test that URL, and you can also test the root URL to make sure that Google can fetch your homepage without errors. That will at least confirm that this is just a waiting game.
