Hi,
I came across this bug report as I was having the same problem, and I
also thought there was a bug in Emacs, as fcitx5 works great everywhere
else.
Note I'm using fcitx5 so it may not be exactly the same for you.

Apparently these settings should be enough for every application to
work, but when it doesn't work on some application, there is a bigger
hole you have to dig into than simply looking at whether the environment
variables are set properly - because they are, and Emacs respected it, fcitx5
just didn't work in Emacs due to other reasons.
You have to fully utilize `fcitx5-diagnose` to see what is wrong.
1. Open a subshell within Emacs, run `fcitx5-remote` to see if fcitx5 is
surely not enabled.
2. Run `fcitx5-diagnose` in the subshell *and* outside Emacs (in a
regular terminal), compare the results, look for errors
I also got help from the fcitx5 maintainer:
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/402
Anyways at the end of the day I'm using fcitx5 in Emacs, so I believe this bug
report should be closed.
