title: I have used Japanese characters in my code and works fine in Python, but when I run the exe file it doesnt display properly. Suggestions?
body: <p>I have used Japanese characters in my code and works fine in Python, but when I run the exe file it doesnt display properly, it just displays as squares with question marks inside.</p>
  
  <p>I used Auto Py to exe to convert the file.</p>
  
  <p>I have had a look and I think it is to do with the encoding and I need to use UTF-8(?) but I have no idea how I could change this. </p>
  
  <pre><code>print("These characters are Japanese &gt; こにちは")
  </code></pre>
