The Controller is a completely different architecture. It basically has nothing

One way to get CJK (or any other character set) to work on the Duet is

Are CJK char sets what used to be known as double byte character
sets? And there's now just support for unicode? As UTF-8, 16, or
both?
If that -is- the issue, possibly the answer is to use something
The problem is not that the tags aren't being read correctly (as they
