Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the varchar display issue with DBeaver Community 25.1.2 on Windows 11 using TDengine 3.3.3.2 and taos-jdbcdriver 3.6.3, comparing the result with TDengine Explorer. Done means Chinese varchar values display as text rather than hexadecimal strings.
