Works fine for me:

```julia
julia> println("Greetings! 你好! 안녕하세요?")
Greetings! 你好! 안녕하세요?

```

Possibly you are saving it a file using something other than the [UTF-8 encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Unicode_encodings) that Julia requires. What code editor are you using?

PS. Please quote your code in posts: [PSA: how to quote code with backticks](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-how-to-quote-code-with-backticks/7530)
