How do I limit the length of text that can be entered in the Text Services Framework?

I am trying to use the Text Services Framework to implement the function to enter player names for a game.
I want to set the maximum length of text that can be entered to the length of the player's name.
I was able to ignore alphanumeric characters and symbols (WM_CHAR) when the limit was exceeded, but it doesn't work for other characters (Chinese, Japanese, etc.).
I'd like to get some advice.

@tomoki kawasaki In general, you can set the maximum number of characters the user can enter for the Edit control of the player's name. It works for me when using Chinese. Refer to EM_SETLIMITTEXT message.
