I am writing a manual where I include code snippets with typefile. Some of the code snippets contain text in Japanese 
but don't appear in the PDF document as typefile seems to skip the Japanese characters 

MWE

file cjk.asy
========
Label L;
L = Label("\\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}{\\CJKfamily{gbsn}여보세요  \\end{CJK}");
label(L);
shipout();

main file
=======
\starttext
\typefile[C][]{cjk.asy}
\stoptext
