OK, no-one's come up with a better answer, so you may be desperate
enough to do what we do. When other tools, such as compilers, have
baulked at Japanese characters in comment fields, we strip them.

With the compiler, Japanese characters outside comments could not be
stripped, but even these could be treated in your case (I expect),
because ddd only needs them for display purposes, surely.

Hope this helps a little bit.
