What's Wrong?
Description:
- Windows 11/10, Thai locale
- Claude Code version: [2.1.23]
- Thai vowel สระอา (U+0E32) disappears when typing
- Copy/paste also doesn't work
- Previously worked fine, started after recent update
- Output displays Thai correctly, only input is affected
What Should Happen?
Thai vowel "sara aa" (สระอา, U+0E32) should be captured and displayed correctly when typing or pasting in the Claude Code input prompt, just like it worked in previous versions.
Expected behavior:
- Typing "สระอา" should display "สระอา" (with the vowel visible)
- Copy/paste of Thai text containing สระอา should preserve the character
- All Thai characters including combining vowels should work correctly in input
This worked correctly before and stopped working after a recent update.
