Symptoms

Steam deck running GE-Proton 8-13 will not recognize Japanese text input (full width hiragana or katakana) in one specific game, Winning Post 10 2023. I've tried all available Proton versions on the steam deck as well before GE. I've posted and discussed my issue on Stack Exchange, Reddit, Twitter, discord, and also tried many solutions from GitHub. The fix that worked for previous games was inputting the following code (on Github courtesy of user Xargonwan) into Konsole while the Steam deck is in desktop mode:

#!/bin/bash

sudo steamos-readonly disable

sudo pacman-key --init

sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux

sudo pacman -S glibc

sudo sed -i "s%#ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8%ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8%" /etc/locale.gen

sudo locale-gen

sudo steamos-readonly enable

Then, I input LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 %command% in the game's startup options on Steam to enable the locale, however, this solution does not work for this game. It worked for the 2022 version of the same game and for my other Japanese language games.
