I installed all the relevant fonts and set up fcitx to type with pinyin, however the characters were not being displayed. I made sure I had set up everything properly by typing in chinese successfully on an unpatched st and the alacritty terminal.

This terminal build uses whatever your system default monospace font is by default. Add a font covering CJK characters to your monospace fontconfig and they will display.
