Windows 10: Japanese characters in .txt files are hidden and not displayed.

Windows Notepad does not display Japanese characters. They are simply hidden.The .txt files in OneDrive are correctly displayed on other computers. This problem does not occur for other files and applications such as File Explorer, .odt files, and email messages. Further, when the content of a .txt file that includes hidden Japanese characters is copy-and-pasted in a .odt file, hidden Japanese characters come back.This problem continues even if the computer is restarted. I want to reinstall Notepad. but I do not know how to reinstall only Notepad.Please help me.

Getting Japanese characters to display

In Windows 10, I was able to switch between the English and Japanese simply by clicking on the ENG icon in my various Office products (Word, PowerPoint, etc.) Now, however, the icon is gone and the ability to get Japanese characters to display has vanished.
My computer says I have the Japanese IME language pack, but I can't get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem in Windows 10? Any suggestions?

 

File Explorer Not Displaying Japanese Characters Properly (Win 10)

Hello,

I am having a particular issue that in general seems to be pretty common but of which I have personally find no solution (no known solution that *works*). The issue I am having is that, particularly for folders/files that I download from the web using a
browser, file explorer will not display Japanese characters properly in the file names. I have the Japanese language pack installed, I have non-unicode programs set to Japanese and locale set to Japan, but none-the-less File Explorer refuses to display Japanese
characters in the filenames of files that I've downloaded. Instead, it replaces the characters with this: � (and occasionally other random characters, but mostly �). Incidentally, Notepad also refuses to display Japanese characters (does the same thing - replaces
them with �) but Wordpad displays them just fine lol.

I have been struggling with this for a while and none of the solutions I've come across seem to resolve the issue. Any help regarding this is strongly appreciated.

 

Japanese characters display problem

My keyboard failed to display correct Japanese characters (i.e. hiragana & katakana).

The characters of 「あ、い、う、え、お」 that correspond to English "a, i, u, e, o" now become
「ち、に、な、い、ら」.

I tried reboot the machine and reinstall the Japanese IME pack a few times, but the problem persists.

Would you please let me know how to fix it?
