"wine" is a bit too vague to make any sense to anyone, so could you
answer a few questions:
Where is the data being input - a builtin app like notepad, or a 3rd party app?
How is the data being input - keyboard, clipboard, file or network and
if not a builtin app, which APIs are being used?
What OS are you running?
What does the typing "locale" in a terminal output?
