Well spotted, I somehow missed that, thanks.

Noob me has no idea how editing is done. Delete and re-enter?

Have you ever used WordPerfect's reveal codes mode? It'd show both the actual input stream (characters you typed) and the formatted (rendered) output at the same time. (Here's the top hit showing the feature on Windows. https://youtu.be/LQOYYi2IHIY I used the DOS version, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth; I loved it.)

Should/Could there be a "reveal codes" mode for text input?

I've never used an IME, so please disregard this notion if it's not even wrong. :)
