This issue relates to input methods, not typesetting, and applies to languages that require them, such as Japanese.
In some web applications, users may unintentionally submit Japanese text before completing their input. While solutions have existed for years—checking event.isComposing before submitting—, major platforms have not adopted them.
The GAP
In apps that let you send messages by pressing ENTER, if you press ENTER while typing to confirm the conversion from Kana to Kanji—e.g., "かんじ" to "漢字"—, the incomplete message will be sent.
The following presentation outlines the problem and its solution, encouraging developers to implement effective mechanisms. The slides emphasize the urgency of this accessibility issue.
