HELP! Hiragana keeps turning into question marks!

[mitsubaisthebest]

I have been trying to use utau today. I use a laptop thats windows 10. I have changed my locale to Japan and it shows up questionmarks whenever i try to paste hiragana! I have no idea on how to use the IME Japanese keyboard on utau. Im also using the default voice, Utane Uta. Please help!!

Did you change your locale before, or after downloading UTAU?

And by you don't know how to use the IME Japanese, do you mean that you don't know how to turn on the keyboard? Or you don't know how to get it to change to hiragana?

I uninstalled UTAU after I changed my locale to Japan, then reinstalled it. I dont know why the keyboard wont let me type in hiragana and i dont know how to turn the keyboard on.

To switch keyboards, you can click on the icon in the taskbar or use the shortcut Win+Space. By default the Japanese keyboard will use Romaji instead of Hiragana, so you can either click on the "A" button in the taskbar to switch it to あ, or use the shortcut Alt+` (backtick/tilde)

Thanks! It actually works now!
