✨ Description
Before this fix, MaskGCT TTS produced unintelligible sounds instead of meaningful speech during inference on Windows. The issue was caused by reading JSON files without explicitly specifying UTF-8 encoding.
On systems where Python's default encoding is not set to UTF-8, this led to incorrect parsing of vocabulary/phoneme data, tampering the speech synthesis process.
