Hm, it turns out that it is a PGTK build.

On the plus side, I won’t need to look for it when I migrate to
Wayland. On the minus side, I’m currently on X and I know your
warnings about PGTK Emacs on X not being a recommended configuration.

Configured using:

I do not want any input module, not even the default one that seems to
grab Ctrl+Shift+U.
