Itunes won't display Asian Characters (Korean, Japanese, and Chinese)

Worked for me. I was close to finding a command line tool but this was a lot easier. Thanks!

I didn't have the problem of showing boxes, but I had a similar problem of the korean characters showing in symbols. To fix, I (1) right clicked on the song. (2) Chose Convert ID3 Tags. (3) Checked "Reverse Unicode" Box, then hit "OK". You can highlight as many songs as you want at once and still perform the same thing, to save you time.

Hope this helps you.

It didn't help me. Suddenly all the characters go from being boxes to being random chinese characters. I can't get the hangul to display properly.

This worked for me. I logged out/restart, and before opening anything else, I opened up itunes.

You probably got it fix but in case you didn't, this is what I've done.

Called Apple Care they don't even know how to solve my problem.

Download ID3mod2 (I think you might have to pay for it if you try to converts more than 8 songs at a time)

Drag your songs to ID3Mod2

Highlighted all your songs then right click "Change Encoding"

Here you can change it to MacKorean if your songs are in Korean, MacChineseSimp if it's Mainland China songs....so on....

Then you click on "Save"

After that you can now drag those songs from your folder to iTunes.

It works for me so I think it should be ok for you as well. Good Luck!
