When i ran make latexpdf, I suddenly find a little bug. That is, the name of '内置类' missing '内' in the module index while the html seems pretty well.

The language in conf.py is zh_CN

Research direction
Investigate the Sphinx LaTeX builder to understand how module index entries are generated, particularly for Chinese characters. Look at the relevant source files, likely in sphinx/builders/latex/ or sphinx/texinputs/. Check if there is a character encoding or string truncation issue that causes the loss of the Chinese character '内'. The issue was reported in 2015, so review the current codebase for any changes that might have fixed or affected this problem.
