@BambooGeneral Thank you for using, and sorry for my reply is late.
In my environment (Mac OS ) is work well.
I have a some cause of it.

1. .r file is not saved.
2. run(ctrl + enter) is not work, but source(ctrl + shift + s) is work

So, could you try print("こんにちは") on .r source file and save it.

I believe this is https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/19837, an issue with the VSCode integrated terminal in Windows, and is not specific to R or Japanese characters. I have this problem too and haven't found a solution yet, but I will update if I do.
