Ok well I'm creating a simfile and I pretty much got everything to start stepping it except for one thing: the name. It's in Japanese. My computer refuses to save simfiles with Japanese characters in it. I tried other formats then putting a .sm at the end, Stepmania then does not recognize it. I have seen other people able to put it in, but I just don't know how. So how can you get Japanese characters in a simfile name and get Stepmania to recognize it?

You can always put the japanese characters on the #TITLE line of the .sm using UTF-8 (Unicode).

The simfile needs to have UTF-8 encoding for Japanese characters to show properly.
That can be set in the Save As menu in Notepad.

You can always romanize the title on the files/folder, and put the japanese characters on the #TITLE line of the .sm.
I already had that. I was talking about inside the .sm file. If I try to save the .sm file as a 'text document (.txt)', it will say "You are about to save the document in a Text-Only format, which will remove all formatting". If I click yes to proceed, it replaces every Japanese character with a question mark.Quote: Meseki

When you save the file on Notepad, look down where it says 'Encoding', and there it should be UTF-8 available as an option.
If it isn't, look if you have the japanese and asian languages support installed on your computer.
UTF-8 is a type of Unicode encoding.
