UI Issue: Japanese Text (Hiragana etc.) won't display

1

Hi. I’m trying to type in Japanese, but the text input doesn’t seem to be recognising the characters.

I’m also using Myra for my UI so I’m not sure if this is a Monogame issue or a Myra issue. I’ve already added the TextBox to MonoGame TextInput code so that it will accept non-ASCII characters.

When I type in Japanese, it just appears blank. Nothing gets printed. But when I paste the textbox content into Notepad, the Japanese characters appear.

EDIT: It’s not just input. It won’t display any Japanese characters in strings.

Is this a MonoGame issue?
How can I fix this?

EDIT 2: Just tried to type Japanese into MyraPad and got the same issue, so likely a Myra problem. If anyone has any solutions, please let me know.

EDIT 3: Was a font issue. Text now displays. (Please feel free to delete this post.)

This is not a MonoGame issue, any character in the Unicode BMP plane including Hiragana.

As far as MonoGame is concerned, any single UTF-16 character is valid.

This appears to be a Myra problem.
