Title: MusicBee doesn't appear to support Unicode in MP3 tags
Post by: peterrow on January 10, 2022, 11:49:34 AM
On the ColdPlay album "Music Of The Spheres" 2021, it has 5 tracks that consist of nothing but emoji style Unicode characters such as a star or a plant. When ripping the CD using Exact Audio Copy they appear correctly but not in MusicBee, in the latter tracks 1, 4, 6, 9 and 11 appear like this:

In the Windows explorer file names they appear correctly, albeit a little small in this screenshot:

I know, I know, stupid Coldplay having unpronounceable titles, but it would be amazing if there was a way to fix this to display correctly.

Have you tried switching among different fonts in Preferences -> Layout (1)?
Unicode characters show up for me, albeit with VORBIS comment tags.
This leads me to think something else is impeding their display for your setup.

the actual track title tag is garbage in the file. The same shows in in mp3Tag and foobar

Ah my bad  :-[ , sorry to have wasted your time. It must be the LAME MP3 library (or the version I have) that Exact Audio Copy uses when ripping at fault then, damn.
Thanks to your diagnosis though I was able to fix the tags. :)
