[SOLVED] libcaca - changing ascii glyphs to Katakana

I am creating a video effect that is supposed to look as in "Matrix" movie, but a bit different ("Matrix"-like video output will be mixed with an altered alpha channel with real video, so it will look half real, half with digits). I am using simply mplayer with caca driver (mplayer -vo caca video.mp4) together with screen recording and then mixing videos in other software. For this I needed to change "static uint32_t ascii_glyphs[]" array in file dither.c (from the code of the caca library as it published here: https://github.com/cacalabs/libcaca/blob/master/caca/dither.c) from: ' ', '.', ':', ';', 't', '%', 'S', 'X', '@', '8', '?' to contain all Katakana symbols. But the problem is that it looks like they are not printable. So the terminal output of the video contains only shadow blocks. I should say that the bash code:

str123="ァアィイゥウェエォオカガキギクグケゲコゴサザシジスズセゼソゾタダチヂッツヅテデトドナニヌネノハバパヒビピフブプヘベペホボポマミムメモャヤュユョヨラリルレロヮワヰヱヲンヴヵヶヷヸヹヺヽヾヿㇰㇱㇲㇳㇴㇵㇶㇷㇸㇹㇺㇻㇼㇽㇾㇿ㌀㌁㌂㌃㌄㌅㌆㌇㌈㌉㌊㌋㌌㌍㌎㌏㌐㌑㌒㌓㌔㌕㌖㌗㌘㌙㌚㌛㌜㌝㌞㌟㌠㌡㌢㌣㌤㌥㌦㌧㌨㌩㌪㌫㌭㌮㌯㌰㌱㌲㌳㌴㌵㌶㌷㌸㌹㌺㌻㌼㌽㌾㌿㍀㍁㍂㍃㍄㍅㍆㍇㍈㍉㍊㍋㍌㍍㍎㍏㍐㍑㍒㍓㍔㍕㍖㍗ｦｧｨｩｪｫｬｭｮｯｱｲｳｴｵｶｷｸｹｺｻｼｽｾｿﾀﾁﾂﾃﾄﾅﾆﾇﾈﾉﾊﾋﾌﾍﾎﾏﾐﾑﾒﾓﾔﾕﾖﾗﾘﾙﾚﾛﾜﾝ"

for i in $(seq 0 ${#str123}); do echo -n "'${str123:i:1}',"; done

working correctly in my terminal (checked with couple of terminal programs, printing correctly), also locales are set:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

And the result for the new array:

/* List of glyphs */
static uint32_t ascii_glyphs[] =
{
    /*
    ' ', '.', ':', ';', 't', '%', 'S', 'X', '@', '8', '?'

    /*

};

is this:

For example, if I change this "static uint32_t ascii_glyphs[]" array to contain full ascii set, then the result is:

Update: I tried to change "static uint32_t ascii_glyphs[]" array to contain Katakana glyphs in Hexadecimal representation, still no result, but (!) if I add these multibyte characters to set:

static uint32_t ascii_glyphs[] =
{
    /* CP437 and box drawing */
    0x2591, 0x2592, 0x2593, 0x2588, 0x2584, 0x2580, /* ░ ▒ ▓ █ ▄ ▀ */
    0x2500, 0x2501, 0x2503, 0x2503, 0x253c, 0x254b, /* ─ ━ │ ┃ ┼ ╋ */
    0x252c, 0x2534, 0x2533, 0x253b, 0x2566, 0x2569, /* ┬ ┴ ┳ ┻ ╦ ╩ */
    0x2550, 0x2551, 0x256c, /* ═ ║ ╬ */
    0x2575, 0x2577, 0x2579, 0x257b
};

so those characters are printed correctly. Result: But if I add Katakana in Hexadecimal:

static uint32_t ascii_glyphs[] =
{
    /* CP437 and box drawing */
    0x2591, 0x2592, 0x2593, 0x2588, 0x2584, 0x2580, /* ░ ▒ ▓ █ ▄ ▀ */
    0x2500, 0x2501, 0x2503, 0x2503, 0x253c, 0x254b, /* ─ ━ │ ┃ ┼ ╋ */
    0x252c, 0x2534, 0x2533, 0x253b, 0x2566, 0x2569, /* ┬ ┴ ┳ ┻ ╦ ╩ */
    0x2550, 0x2551, 0x256c, /* ═ ║ ╬ */
    0x2575, 0x2577, 0x2579, 0x257b,

    /* Katakana (part) */
    0x30a1,0x30a2,0x30a3,0x30a4,0x30a5,0x30a6,0x30a7,0x30a8,0x30a9,0x30aa,
    0x30ab,0x30ac,0x30ad,0x30ae,0x30af,0x30b0,0x30b1,0x30b2,0x30b3,0x30b4
};

so many blanks (just background and shades chars, without glyphs) are added:

So why this is still not working? Looks like somehow the terminal (?), gcc (?) or something on the way just not liking Katakana symbols :)

Thank you for your guidance!
