Text fields in tools and basic search should accept pasting unicode text

What problem do you see this solving?
I want to use text copied from somewhere else as a string for Next Capture Naming, Export Location, Export Naming, and other such fields, but not all characters are preserved after pasting in. For example if I copy "SUB お気に入りで溢れた小さな賃貸キッチン｜Kitchen Tour", on paste to Capture One I get only "SUB Kitchen Tour"; I can type the full text manually, but this is tedious when not being native to the language or when using characters like ∞, whose names are sometimes hard to find (and remember, I can't copy the character, I have to type it).

Basic Search fails a bit differently: characters are converted to question marks.

Advanced Search and Image Rename are the only places that work correctly and accept any text on paste, so text fields conforming to the request are already implemented.

Working on Windows 10.

----

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Whenever I want to use a unicode input.

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
Typing manually, as said above.

Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes.

    Pasting Japanese text into the search field in the Filters tool (assuming this is what you mean by basic search) works as expected here (Mac).

    I don't use Filters tool explicitly as part of tool tab (had to search for it), but it is indeed the same as the unnamed search field within Browser that I called "Basic Search" for lack of an explicit name - non-ASCII characters are replaced by question marks. Windows 10, as it seems to be a system-dependent behaviour, if there is no confirmation on Mac.

    ("Filters tool" exhibits also another problem that I have reported - only dates are available for filtering, not times, which means in my case just a single day for the entire session regardless of amount of photos.)

    I had completely forgotten that there was a search function in the browser. Here, pasting Japanese text in this search field works as expected too.
