Description
Description
When entering CJK characters in the TextInput component, the styling does not change.
I wanted to change the styling according to the type of characters entered, but I don't think react can detect the state change.
The example screen is,
The even number of letters is red
The odd-numbered letter is a simple logic that handles it in blue.
Logic does not work in Korean while it works normally in the English environment.
From searching, it seems that this phenomenon occurs in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese equally.
Steps to reproduce
- The even number of letters color is red, The odd-numbered letter color is blue.
- type english / type CJK Character

Research direction
Start with the linked rn-textinput-cjk-issue reproducer and compare TextInput behavior when entering English versus Korean, Chinese, or Japanese on iOS. Trace how TextInput changes are propagated to the styling logic, then verify that the even/odd character styling updates during CJK input without regressing English input.
