Yes.

Well, yes and no.  It may be that some library involved in fetching,
processing and displaying the data, which doesn't necessarily have
"json" in its name, is setting the font for the display area to
something that can't handle Japanese.  You can call that whole process
"JSON handling" if you like, as long as you interrogate *all* the
suspects in the process.

What happens if you comment out the JSON fetching process, and simply
assign literals to all the relevant variables instead of that process?
