This bug has existing for a long time. Ever since serveral years ago.
I'm not talking about built in input method, but XIM, which can be provided by
fcitx, gcin, scim, or ibus.
Since this bug existing for a long time, I think that'some of the reason that
scim and ibus provides scim-el and ibus-el to make emacs works with input
method under non-CJK locale.
There is no limitation for XIM to work with non-CJK locale, since xterm, or
something similar already can works well.
Or emacs should change the input method support code to gtk input context.
Reproduce step:
1. set locale to en_US.UTF-8, start emacs, X input method do not work.
2. set locale to zh_CN.UTF-8, start emacs, X input method now works.

This is a really old bug but it is finally clear recently what is causing it.
## Background and observed issues.
1. Since at least 8 years ago when this bug was first reported, it was
observed that sometimes emacs cannot use XIM unless set to a CJK
locale, e.g. zh_CN.UTF-8. This is not always necessary, and might not
always work and it was also unclear what caused it since nothing seems
to have hard coded anything locale dependent in either emacs or xlib
and other programs using xim also seems fine...
2. It was also know (probably more recent) that it is necessary to
install certain font to get XIM work with emacs since otherwise some
XIM related font lookup fails and disables XIM.
## Root cause
It turns out that the two issues are closely related. The full story
is roughly like this,
1. Emacs calls `xic_create_xfontset` in `create_frame_xic`. This
function try to figure out a list of fonts based on some conditions.
If no font is found at this state, it causes the second issue that
requires installation of some fonts.
2. The return value of this is then passed in as the `fontSet`
(XNFontSet) attribute for preedit and status within
`create_frame_xic`. However, if there are too many font matches, it'll
fail in the `XimType_XFontSet` case within `_XimValueToAttribute`
since it can overflow the 2048 byte buffer that xlib uses. (the buffer
size available when it decodes the XFontSet measured locally is ~ 1k).
This also causes the input method initialization to fail and this is
the cause of the first issue. The effect of setting the locale is
actually simply on the number of font matches. Most users seem to have
more fonts matching an english locale than a CJK one which is why
setting to a CJK locale avoids the overflow. For users that have
fewer/different (english) fonts installed there could also be fewer
matches allowing XIM to work.
## What other programs do
* xterm seems to use "fixed" to lookup font
* qt4 https://dreamswork.github.io/qt4/qximinputcontext__x11_8cpp_source.html
AFAICT uses different fonts?
* gtk I don't actually see where it set fonts...
@Xuetian Weng dug deeper into this
## Fix
I'm not sure what's the correct one. It seems that setting the fontSet
is necessary although I'm not sure how/if gtk get away with it.
According to @Xuetian Weng virtually no one use this setting anymore
so setting a dummy value to comfort xlib might be good enough? It
would avoid both issues at the same time.

And since it's basically a useless setting at this point, this fix seems to work

And some new findings and a more aggressive and robust fix.
1. It's fine to set status area and preedit position even without the
corresponding xim style set. The input method will handle that just
fine. In emacs, doing that for status area cause error due to
uninitialized memory (`needed` is not initialized in
`xic_set_statusarea` under such condition) so that one still needs to
be done conditionally.
2. Without XIMPreeditPosition and XIMStatusArea, xlib will not require
the fonts to be set and there's no issue with not finding font or
finding too many fonts anymore.
All in all, the following patch fixes all the issues cleanly.
Note that this is exactly what gtk3 does
(https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/blob/de04aaf82db8d694af7d42ab6bb2e26d3ef0c947/modules/input/gtkimcontextxim.c#L183),
i.e. it does not accept either XIMPreeditPosition or XIMStatusArea.
(It does accept callback but that is for "on-the-spot" style I believe
and is not implemented in emacs anyway.) That's why I expect this to
work with all modern input methods.
The support for cursor following (xic_set_preeditarea) as well as the
problematic approach involving the font was introduced in
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/5a7df7d75faa0f8921fd6a9591cdf6836d89941b
20.5 years ago.

The patch was mangled by the mailer, apparently, but I've respun it
below. It doesn't seem to introduce any regressions, but I'm not using
XIM, so that's no surprise.
Like Eli said, it would be nice if somebody with more XIM knowledge
could give this patch a look before we apply it to Emacs 28.

That was three months ago, and nobody volunteered, so I've pushed the
patch now to Emacs 28. If this regresses stuff for people, we'll have
to revert.

I also thought about it more and I think if people have objections or
this really regresses for people, an alternative is to still try the
old method but fallback to this one if any steps fail.
OTOH, it'll make the code more complicated and IMHO the old one isn't
particularly "better" just "different" so I wasn't in a hurry to
implement that.
Please do let me know if there's any report related to this and it
shouldn't be **that** hard to add the new path only as a fallback.
