Hi All,

I would like to backport this bug fix (JDK-8212768) done in jdk13 to jdk8. It is basically a clean backport, but only the copyright of awt_InputMethod.cpp and awt_Component.cpp is not updated because the current source is newer.

The following fixes are resolved.

Issue A: Cannot display surrogate pair character on Windows floating IME window for passive component
It has been reproduced using the test program (SwingSet2) in a specific environment and verified that this fix resolves it.

Issue B: Control Windows IME status using InputSubset and UnicodeBlock for CJK countries
It has been reproduced using the test program (ImSubsetsTest.java) in a specific environment and verified that this fix resolves it.

Issue C: Check pre-edit string availability for Windows Chinese IME
It probably won't happen again in the new environment. I have verified that the behavior of the test program (IMFTestA.java) remains unchanged after this fix.

JTREG tests were executed using the -a option (automatic tests only) for the test suites java/awt/Component and java/awt/InputMethods. No failures were found.

The changes implemented in JDK-8212678 alone are not sufficient to fully resolve IME-related issues. To ensure a complete fix, the changes from JDK-8258805 must also be integrated. I plan to create a separate pull request.

Thank you.

Would anyone be willing to review this? This fix is pretty much clean. The GHA failure is not due to this fix.
