This issue is quite common and is encountered by many users due to inconsistent font formatting between the Word application and the Vietnamese input method, resulting in font errors, incorrect accent typing, text loss, and even displaying unreadable characters.

Step 2: Install the newly downloaded input method -> Next, you will adjust the Character set and Typing mode to match the font in the Word document you are using.
For Character sets in Vietnamese input methods, they include:
Unicode: The international standard character set.
TCVN3: Represents the old Vietnamese standard character set.
VNI Windows: Refers to the character set created by VNI Company and named accordingly.
Due to the three different character sets mentioned here, when users use them for composing -> they need to select the appropriate input method on the Word application with the corresponding character set on the Vietnamese input tool to avoid errors while composing.
Unicode Character Set: Allows you to use fonts such as Time News Roman, Arial, Tahoma, Courier, Courier New in Word.

Then, when inputting or editing data, you will surely not encounter this issue. Therefore, remember the information provided above to avoid experiencing missing characters when composing documents!
