Unicode not displaying properly on SSH Ubuntu

[flipperbw]

I can see the japanese characters fine when I open the python file, I can print them out to the terminal using curses in python3 manually, but running the script just produces weird ~H and ~5, and so on, in their place. I'm SSH'ed into a Ubuntu box and everything is installed properly from what I can tell. Any ideas?
