[SOLVED] Qt Applications not recognizing japanese characters

When I run Qt applications (goldendict, anki) and open a file browser from within the application itself, file names with Japanese characters in them (醤字.txt) don't get read and the file is "invisible". I don't have any problems when I launch a file browser from the terminal or via cinnamon. I read the arch wiki page on Qt, but wasn't able to find anything that helped. Also, I have a thread about XTerm not reading Japanese characters or being able to take Japanese input, so, not sure if it's related or not. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
