Bug in Aspose: the following Japanese words do not display correctly in Adobe Acrobat when using MarkupAnnotation or TextAnnotation

I can successfully setContents of a MarkupAnnotation or TextAnnotation (in .NET and Java) with the following 2 words. I can even the getContents, but when I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat the words do not show correctly:

Word 1: 医師
Word 2: 工夫

I even tried setting with the unicode equivalents and that doesn’t work either.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("Hello world!");



        Document document = new Document("/Users/adam.decatur/projects/scripts/testPdf.pdf");
        Page page = document.getPages().get_Item(4);

        com.aspose.pdf.Rectangle muRect = new com.aspose.pdf.Rectangle(
                500.011,
                550.011,
                18.011,
                100.011);

        MarkupAnnotation muAnnot = burnInTextFields(page, muRect);

        page.getAnnotations().add(muAnnot);
        document.save();
        document.close();
    }

    protected static MarkupAnnotation burnInTextFields(Page curPage, com.aspose.pdf.Rectangle markupRectangle) {

        // create our PDF annotation object
        TextAnnotation annotationObject = new TextAnnotation(curPage, markupRectangle);
        //annotationObject.setContents("\u533b\u5e2b");
        annotationObject.setContents("医師");

        return annotationObject;
    }
}

We tested using 24.4 and we could see the annotation in the output file:

Can you please make sure that all fonts are properly installed in your system?

The 2nd character is not correct in your .png.
