Hi!

I have songs in Japanese and Korean and I can't see the characters , something in wine is missing I think (maybe the script?) I am on the current Mac OS version.

Any thoughts?

Let me know please!

As this is a genuine Wine problem: have you searched the Wine community, e.g.  
[https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=13113](https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=13113)

Hi again!

This one didn't work because i wasn't using those symbols. i am using japanese and korean characters. I used the code ja\_JP.UTF-8 and I can now SEE all the characters but now I cannot edit them in their native languages
