How to use Pandoc with double-byte characters?
I am trying to convert a Markdown document to PDF. The following works using pandoc test.md -o test.pdf:
# Test
Testing
But this
# Test
日本語
gives me an error:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char 日 (U+65E5)
(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.62 日
Try running pandoc with --latex-engine=xelatex.
pandoc: Error producing PDF
Using --latex-engine=xelatex doesn't seem to help. I am using pandoc 1.19.2.1 on Mac OS X.
Using the package markdown-pdf (https://atom.io/packages/markdown-pdf) in Atom also works, but I need to use Pandoc for other reasons.

The problem are not so much the double-byte characters, it's more that you need to tell Pandoc it should tell LaTeX to use a CJK font.
For me, the current Pandoc version 2.5 on macOS works:
- You need to use
--pdf-engine=lualatexorxelatexnow (no more--latex-engine). - You need to have installed the
'xecjk'package in your LaTeX installation. - You need to add
-V CJKmainfont=...to your command line. - You need to have an appropriate font installed on your system, f.e. "STSong".
So here goes:
pandoc
--pdf-engine=lualatex
-V CJKmainfont="STSong"
-o out.pdf
