> saproc.dll would throw exception via [ThrowNew()](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/15/docs/specs/jni/functions.html#thrownew) JNI function, but it accepts UTF-8 encoded message. However [FormatMessage()](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-formatmessage) Windows API might not return UTF-8 encoded string on Japanese locale.
