[Windows] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters

[nekogecko2]

Any other windows users dealing with this error? I don't have this bug if I run it through WSL or google colab.

If I try to clone any japanese voice, I get this error. I assume it might happen with chinese voices too

It works fine with English voices.

Full error

Please show me the cmd window and ui screenshot when it appears, and the corresponding input. I can't reproduce this problem on my computer.

Maybe you can try creating a new text file and putting the Japanese you entered into it, then save it as utf-8 encoding.

Please present more details about how you caused this error. Are you using through web UI or code? Which language you are typing into? What text did you try to synthesize? Better if you provide some screenshots. Thanks.

Sorry! I'm using it through Web UI. I'm typing it with english

The problem occurs when I try to clone any japanese voice. If I clone a english voice or clone a english voice to speak japanese, it works fine.

Here's the full output from the terminal when I try to run any Japanese audio. Example audio file I used: https://vocaroo.com/11fwIvmV4XAi

FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE!

If anyone else has this issue, add "-X utf8" to python

so run the command python -X utf8 launch-ui.py

This might be a issue for english Windows users like me who doesn't have the Chinese or Japanese language installed on their computer? 😅 I don't know
