Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reproducing the Windows 10 example with R 4.1.3 and the listed language-service setting, then determine whether vscode-R, the R language server, or VS Code transforms the Chinese characters. Done means identifying the responsible component and preserving the original characters in the saved R code.
