UTAU: Japanese input turns into gibberish

Post by cavernosaspider »

Hello, I'm trying to run UTAU. I'm able to install and run it fine but when I input japanese characters they get incorrectly encoded (shows gibberish/mojibake). Inputting ASCII is fine though.

The UI shows japanese and english characters all fine, and I can open Notepad and input japanese fine as well.

When initializing I set LANG to "ja_JP.utf8". I tried setting to eucjp or ujis but that makes it just ignore all my japanese character inputs.
Before installing UTAU I installed "corefonts" and "cjkfonts" with winetricks to view japanese text.
