Unicode Japanese Characters

[Erotemic]

The original matrix animation uses Japanese characters.

It would be nice if unicode support was added so cmatrix could display Japanese characters.

Yes, and to be more precise the characters are "flipped" on the X axis

I managed to get the Japanese characters easily but could'nt flip them.

Hey! I'd be happy to know which font is required for having the japanese characters show up?
currently when I run it with -c and symbols show up

Any Japanese font complying with utf-8 works fine

I have font installed and they work (tested japanese characters in browser & terminal)
But they don't show up in cmatrix.
Only weird characters.

[abishekvashok]

Strange. Will look into it

my terminal (urxvt) can display japanese just fine

but this is what happens when i run cmatrix -c

I have the same issue on macOS with Alacritty and iTerm2:

Hey guys, did anyone manage to get this working? I made sure to install a japenese font but at the moment cmatrix -c leaves a blank screen. Im using ubuntu server btw.

Nope still researching on it
