**Description** When using the Meeting SDK (Windows C++) to let a guest user with a Japanese display name enter the room and send a chat during a ZOOM meeting, the display name part of the chat notification to the Windows client application user is garbled. **Which Windows Meeting SDK version?** zoom-sdk-windows-5.12.8.10282 **Screenshots** _ **Alphabet** _ Display screen name is “hogehoge”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/e/5/e57c3c18639e4ecb47149b81b03e16848b1e7771.png) _ **Japaneese** _ Dipslay screen name is “ほげほげ” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/c/8/c8cae7941ab3c8ddf253ac784849658d8d2c13f9.png) **Source Code** _ **Join Meeting** _ ```auto // Get screen input value std::wstring meetingNo = ui.leMeetingNo->text().remove(QRegExp("\\s")).toStdWString(); std::wstring meetingPass = ui.leMeetingPass->text().toStdWString(); m_meetingWorkflow = new MeetingWorkflow();// ※MinutesDataAquisitionDialog::closeEventで削除 // Join meeting as Guest ZOOM_SDK_NAMESPACE::tagJoinParam joinParam; joinParam.userType = ZOOM_SDK_NAMESPACE::SDK_UT_WITHOUT_LOGIN; ZOOM_SDK_NAMESPACE::JoinParam4WithoutLogin& withoutloginParam = joinParam.param.withoutloginuserJoin; withoutloginParam.meetingNumber = _wtoi64(meetingNo.c_str()); withoutloginParam.vanityID = NULL; // ★Set screen name wchar_t screenName[] = L"hogehoge"; // this is garbled // wchar_t screenName[] = L"ほげほげ"; withoutloginParam.userName = screenName; withoutloginParam.psw = meetingPass.c_str(); withoutloginParam.hDirectShareAppWnd = NULL; withoutloginParam.customer_key = NULL; withoutloginParam.webinarToken = NULL; withoutloginParam.isDirectShareDesktop = false; withoutloginParam.isVideoOff = true; withoutloginParam.isAudioOff = true; ZOOM_SDK_NAMESPACE::SDKError err = m_meetingWorkflow->joinMeeting(joinParam); ``` _ **Send Chat** _ ```auto err = m_MeetingWorkflow->GetChatController()->SendChatMsgTo(chatmsg, userId, ZOOMSDK::SDKChatMessageType_To_Individual); ``` Thanks! ---

> [@r-nakayama](#): > > ` L"ほげほげ"` Hi @r-nakayama , I’ve tried this and didn’t managed to replicate it. However there was a prompt in visual studio to enable unicode, which I enabled. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/0/9/09ba64297e18da016690a65eba4a62be42fec377.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/a/9/a92858dd82cf27fa047e5544facfb7873a51a731.jpeg) ---

Thank you for providing the information @chunsiong.zoom . I didn’t write it in the content of the post, but the recipient of the garbled chat uses the ZOOM Windows client app. Could this be having an effect? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/e/1/e1d009652f76fb037012a81f34d60eff1163b792.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/9/1/91ee817a782928fcfc5d5a71026ba1749fc2a30a.png) ---

@r-nakayama , I see it now, let me raise this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/0/2/0219f696195eb2dd5745de3144f11587a18ee725.png) ---

Thanks @chunsiong.zoom . I think we are in a similar situation. Is there any workaround for my app…? ---

@r-nakayama , This should have been resolved in newer version of the SDK (5.14) and Zoom Client (5.14.8). I’ve just tested it, and it works fine. ---
