I'm wondering if Chinese characters in the Firefox tab in my Windows "what's open" bar is an indicator that somehow my computer has been hacked despite virus and spyware protection?

I'm referring to the bar at the bottom of my page. While my browser opens normally and everything is in English, that tab is in Chinese. Indicative of something? (I've got up-to-date virus and separate spyware software.) Thanks.

If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.

The RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.

Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files. The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.

You can disable/remove the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)
