Research direction
The issue is reproducible in Chrome and IE but not Firefox, indicating a problem with handling Unicode input composition events. Investigate the scribe library's event handling for compositionstart, compositionupdate, and compositionend. Look at source files like `src/dom observer.js` or `src/event handler.js`. Check if the bug is caused by not preventing default behavior during composition or incorrect cursor position reset. Test with Korean IME and ensure the fix works across browsers.
