iconv: Illegal byte sequence

[Xiburse]

I used Google Translate to Chineseize part of the text, and the following error was reported when I packaged it:
ERROR: outm2.txt:17068: iconv: Illegal byte sequence

My text content:

The encoding format is utf-8.How can I solve it?

This error means that the program can't convert your text into the character encoding of the .ain file (because it contains unsupported characters).

Alicesoft's game engine uses the Shift-JIS character encoding internally, and Shift-JIS doesn't support Chinese text. I've heard that it's possible to edit the .exe file so that it uses a different encoding (e.g. GB2312 for Chinese) but I'm not sure how to do it myself. Apparently there is a tutorial on the net somewhere.

If you do manage to get a modified .exe, the alice ain edit command has a --transcode option that will convert the .ain file to a different encoding. But you will need a modified .exe in order to run such a file.

OK, I will find a way to change the exe, thank you

好像是需要a社官方的游戏制作工具来修改，最近没有整了，我也不是很清楚

You may also need to edit the fonts if they do not have Chinese characters
