    So I tried using Unity's "Input.imeCompositionMode = IMECompositionMode.Off;" to disable the use of ime keyboard, but it still lets me type in korean characters into the text input field. I even made a custom validator to return a null character if the user types while Input.imeIsSelected is set to true. That helped a little as now it prevents any korean characters from being added after the first character. The issue is that it can't seem to stop the first korean character from appearing. Anyone encounter this issue before?

    What platform and version of unity are you using? We have fixed some ime bugs recently that could be related. Can you file a bug report so we look into your issue?

    Hey Karl!

    We're trying to get this to work on PC and we're using Unity 2019.4.37f1. I'll file a bug report

    Okay so I found the solution to the issue. I tried calling this line "Input.imeCompositionMode = IMECompositionMode.Off;" in Start, Awake, and OnEnable functions and they never worked. Turns out that TMP_InputField changes the imeCompositionMode value AFTER all those functions run via LateUpdate:

    Unfortunately I had to also put the "Input.imeCompositionMode = IMECompositionMode.Off;" in a separate LateUpdate to reverse that change
