Does the guix repo have something akin to Veracrypt?

One of the apps I used before switching to guix OS was Veracrypt.
Is there anything like it that can open and edit veracrypt files?

It looks like cryptsetup can handle the VeraCrypt format.

I tried that, but was met with an issue: no support for non-alphabetic characters. All files containing Japanese letters came out as ???.

I was also more looking for a an alternative GUI-based application, but I found that as well:

$ guix package -i sirikali cryfs xdg-utils

I guess I’ll have to move from one to the other.

The non-support for non-alphabetic characters came from another source.
Issue solved.

[edit]

Actually, after looking more into it, it is due to the way the encrypted source is unencrypted and I managed to open it in a VM with veracrypt running.

cryptsetup open --type tcrypt encrypted.hc vc_container
mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/mapper/vc_container /mnt/whatever
