Is it possible your tags are MusicBee are showing as ID3v1, which I'm not sure supports UTF character encoding?
Try using MP3TAG to switch some test tracks to ID3v2 UTF-16.

I have tracks with Cyrillic characters and have never had problems displayed them.

i do not know what exactly the problem was - mp3tag shows me the tags id3v2.4 the v1 tag had ? as you expected. musicbee says only parts of the tags are v2. finally, i solved this problem with taking id tags from file name so all mp3s with a false tag were rewrittenand are okay now.

noyse: ID3v1 does not support unicode;  ID3v2.3 supports UTF-16, v2.4 will do UTF-8.  Your screenshot from Mp3tag shows the file has a mix of v2.4 and v1 tags (at least).  All kinds of ways to solve that but those include the way you chose so  glad you're OK now.
