does your font support those non-english characters? try using DejaVu Sans and check if that works

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
  <style>
    * { font-family: DejaVu Sans !important; }
  </style>
</head>

@www888 it must be your font that doesn't support a non-English character.
