Chinese characters displays as invalid boxes.

[Tianming-Wu]

Just look at the following picture:

It doesn't seems right at all.
The boxes is usually caused by wrong encoding or fonts that don't support Chinese.

System Details:

• Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS 64bit
• GNOME: 46
• Wayland
• Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-1012-raspi
• Processor Architecture: aarch64
• Device: Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB)

System Locale and Language (gnome too) are set to zh_CN.UTF-8, and Chinese.
I think originally installed 22.04 version, and followed the regular updates all the way to 24.04 (the current version).

Version:
I don't know the app-center version, it somehow displyed as 1.0.0 in the "About (Maybe)". There's no new updates, so I think it's the latest version.

Time:
I've been seeing the issue since I installed the system.
I have used the x86_64 ubuntu on my pc and app-center was all English.

Additional inforamtion that might help:
Also, some other apps also have the problem, like localsend (installed via snap). I also contacted the author, but there wasn't any problem on his side.

I encountered the problem when using wine, but later solved by setting the environment variable LC_ALL=zh_cn.UTF-8 and LANG=zh_cn.UTF-8, and installed a font through winetricks.

It just worked all right on other pcs, so is it a problem with raspi builds, aarch64 architecture, or just my ubuntu install?
