Japanese characters are just question marks + Alot of voicebanks don't work

The main issue
- Basically i can't type any japanese characters because they always turn into question marks
- Locale has been changed to japanese and utau was reinstalled , TWICE.
- Utau is the only program to do this ironically
- I'm not too sure what to do. I'm very dusty and haven't used utau since 2012 so i'm not sure what to do

The second issue
- Alot of voicebanks don't work/don't sing. Maybe it's because of the way they're packed? i don't know
Magpie for example: http://utau.wiki/utau:magpie-batty
VERY nice voicebank but can i use it? Of course not. I can't test her either because guess what? She's
not an english voicebank.
- I've looked into the main issue and they're all telling me to set my locale to japanese but it's already
set that way and i'm still getting question marks
- It's looking like i won't be able to use the program which is real shame.

Looking for a solution.

Adding to what Kiyoteru said above, also make sure you're redownloading UTAU and any voicebanks you got previously.
Simply uninstalling and reinstalling after a locale change won't fix the issue as the files are already corrupt.

Please show screenshots of where you changed your locale setting.

Okay i will try to redownload the voicebanks as well starting with magpie since she's the one i wanna use.
[doublepost=1577384330,1577381235][/doublepost]Wow really weird update , it's only taking a certain font with the japanese characters so i've been piggy-backing off USTs to recreate these characters and making a reclist to hopefully help anyone else who has this problem

As for redownloading the voicebanks this has actually worked ! So...one of my utaoloids screams apparently so that's good to know
and i will never unhear this ._ .

Thank you both so much <3

The screaming could be an frq file error (provided the UTAU isn't intended to scream). Does it happen only on a few notes, or anything you play?
