When trying to type in Russian (Cyrillic) in the chat in Among Us, all characters appear as question marks ("?") for all players. This makes communication in the game impossible for Russian-speaking users.

  2. Open the chat.
  3. Switch the keyboard layout to Russian.
  4. Attempt to type any text in Russian.
  5. All characters are displayed as "?" instead of Cyrillic letters.

  • On Windows, the same game works correctly with Cyrillic input.
