IPTC seems to be in Latin, and not in unicode. XMP data seems to be correct.

I means IPTC encoding is Latin and not unicode, which software do you use?

I made a few experiments and concluded that the problem is within my OS. In Local setings - Language for non-Unicode programs when I use Bulgarian (cyrillic) I can see cyrillic but not japanese. When I use japanese I see both languages in IPTC and XMP with no problems, but I'm forced to use bulgarian.
Is there anything that can be done? Is there a way for XnView to be unrelated to local encoding and still use unicode?

You must write IPTC in unicode
