I'm using tty here, and not VT. I assume the problem is caused by my locale, more specifically - by inability of tty to render glyphs of my language.
So is there a way to fix this? I use Artix btw.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, it fixes the issue when I logged in. But my login program still looks unreadable with non English language.
I setup correct font in /etc/vconsole.conf and even tried to add setfont to early init file. Still no luck. I guess getty resets it...
Put that fix earlier in system booting process.
Yes this looks like a font issue
It's possible that you didn't uncomment your language's locale in /etc/locale.gen.
