Description

I can use Japanese in editor mode, but it will be garbled in the viewer mode 😲

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by entering Japanese in editor mode and viewing the resulting post in viewer mode. Trace the content rendering path in the JavaScript WordPress plugin and compare the stored text with the displayed text; done means multibyte text renders unchanged in viewer mode.
