Managed to fix the Chinese characters with some experimentation – I am not 100% which part of this fixed, so experiment.

Install the locale if you don’t have already
sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-zh-hans
Install some extra winetricks:
winetricks msls31 ole32 riched20 riched32
winetricks corefonts cjkfonts mscorefonts noto-fonts-cjk
When you install wechat - set the locale, use
LC_ALL="zh_CN.UTF8" wine WeChat_C1018.exe
Now correctly seeing characters in the mini-program menus
