[BUG] [macOS] Korean Input Method (IME) compatibility issue - Characters not appearing in Claude Code CLI
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
Korean characters from custom input method (galmadiuli keyboard) are not
appearing in Claude Code CLI. When I type q, w, e, r keys, they should produce
Korean characters 〈, 〉, 「, 」 but only show as original English letters.
This works perfectly in Gemini CLI and other applications, but fails in Claude Code CLI.
What Should Happen?
Korean input method characters should appear correctly in Claude Code CLI,
just like they do in Gemini CLI. When I type q→〈, w→〉, e→「, r→」, these
Korean characters should display properly in the terminal.
