What's Wrong?
When the new renderer is enabled via CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1, copying text results in corrupted Korean characters.
This happens both when using the /copy command and when manually selecting text (drag + copy).
English text is copied correctly, but Korean text becomes garbled after being pasted.
What Should Happen?
Korean text should be copied correctly without corruption.

Additional Information

- Issue occurs with both
/copyand manual selection - Issue appears only when the new renderer is enabled

- This issue does not occur when using the default renderer (i.e., without setting CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER). Korean text is copied correctly in that case.

This suggests the issue is not limited to Japanese, but likely affects Unicode handling for multiple non-ASCII languages (e.g., Korean as well).
The problem does not occur when using the default renderer.
