Probably some font misconfiguration problem. Apparently displaying of
Chinese characters should work since output of Japanese characters
admittedly works.

I'm afraid that correct input of Chinese and any multibyte characters
will require almost complete rewrite of the Wine keyboard code using
X Input Method/Input Context. Simultaneously it will solve the problem
with dead keys.

Unfortunately nobody worked on that problems yet. Do you want to try?
