Hi @yamaguchi.ydw,

Other users have had a similar issue with Windows 10 default encoding. The fix posted here may help:

I’ve raised it as an issue on the Anvil App Server repo:

Windows 10 default CP-1252 encoding

When running the app server on Windows 10 some characters, such as umlauts, disp…lay incorrectly due to Windows default CP-1252 encoding. [The current workaround](https://anvil.works/forum/t/utf-8-umlaut-problem-when-app-is-moved-locally-to-app-server/5641/4?u=ryan): > In the command prompt (for a single session) you may use: > > `set _JAVA_OPTIONS=%_JAVA_OPTIONS% -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8` > > Or you may set an according environment variable in your Windows account.
