Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the pgAdmin4 psql tool or psql tool workspace on Windows 11 with Microsoft Pinyin enabled. No source file or test is named; trace the psql tool's text-input path and compare Chinese IME input with ordinary typing. Done means Chinese characters can be entered and the existing behavior remains intact.
