Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/761

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 Pro 1909

Client: Archlinux (Current)

I checked the server on Linux too.

Barrier Version

2.3.2

Steps to reproduce bug

On server,

Set language to Japanese
Add new display
Start server
Error!

If Windows is the server:

[2020-06-22T06:14:45] ERROR: cannot read configuration "C:/Users/*****/AppData/Local/Temp/Barrier.XhfGqn": read error: line 2: invalid character 0xffffff96

If Linux is the server:

[2020-06-22T06:23:12] ERROR: cannot read configuration "/tmp/Barrier.NiIHeA": read error: line 2: invalid character 0xffffffe5

Other info

Actually, I can't input Display name using Japanese IME (Japanese name is not allowed maybe?)
I don't know whether Japanese chars in names are allowed or not, but the default name of the new display is "名前なし", which contains them that causes an error.
