Visual Studio Code unicode symbol insertion problem

When I copy a word with Unicode symbols in it from anywhere outside VScode, and then paste it in VScode, all non ASCII symbols in the word are shown as Unicode code instead of an actual symbol.
For example, "fünften" becomes "f\u00fcnften".

This doesn't happen if I copy from the VScode.
Also, it looks like this doesn't happen on Ubuntu 18.04 (and probably all other versions) and other Linux distros. It looks like this is Arch specific thing.

It was also reported here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/31366

Re: Visual Studio Code unicode symbol insertion problem

Which fonts are you using in VScode and do the symbols in question actually work if you type them manually? What does your locale setup look like? Post

localectl
locale
locale -a
