研究方向: Investigate how xterm.js handles composition events and punctuation input. Look at the input handling code in `src/InputHandler.ts` and `src/Terminal.ts` for how key events and compositionend events are processed. The issue likely relates to the browser's composition event not being properly translated into the correct character codes. Check if there are any existing tests for IME input in the test suite.
