I've converted this to discussion as I don't think think what you are observing can be fixed by modifying the source code in this repository. I'm not saying that the issue you were seeing is not a big deal. What I'm trying to explain is that input methods like Mozc are not the right layer to solve the glyph selection issue in general.

My recommendation is asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or whatever on how to solve the issue you are observing by also showing this thread.

Have you installed Japanese fonts (e.g. Noto Sans CJK)?
e.g. Raspberry PI OS doesn't bundle Japanese fonts by default.
