Keyboard Shortcuts Conflict with Chinese/Japanese Input on iPad with External Keyboard

[786ITYU]

Steps to reproduce

1. Connect an external keyboard to an iPad.
2. Activate a Chinese input method like Pinyin or a Japanese input method like Romaji.
3. Select a block of text.
4. Use standard keyboard shortcuts, e.g., Bold [Cmd + B] or Italicize [Cmd + I].

Expected result

The selected text should be bolded or italicized accordingly.

Actual result

While the appropriate formatting symbols (e.g., *) are added for bolding/italicizing, the selected text gets replaced by the letter associated with the keyboard shortcut (e.g., using Bold replaces text with the letter “b”).
