Description

Describe the bug
when I add

 "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["<C-【>"],
            "after": ["<Esc>"]
        }
    ]

to setting file。there is no effect when I press C-【
the "【" is a character when I use Chinese input method in mac.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

add

 "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["<C-【>"],
            "after": ["<Esc>"]
        }
    ]

to setting file

Expected behavior
I hope

 "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["<C-【>"],
            "after": ["<Esc>"]
        }
    ]

have same effect with

 "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["<C-[>"],
            "after": ["<Esc>"]
        }
    ]

Research direction

Start by reproducing the vim.insertModeKeyBindings example on macOS with a Chinese input method, comparing "C-【" with "C-[" in the VSCodeVim extension. Trace the keybinding and input-event handling entry point, then verify that both mappings produce the expected Escape behavior.
