When using the italics button in the UI you can not properly italicise words in Chinese

In Chinese all words are rendered without spaces between them. Eg:

我喜欢精灵

Contains multiple words.

When you use the “italics” button in the UI to italicise a word we produce this markdown variant.

我_喜欢_精灵

This is unfortunate cause the spec allows for the following which would work as expected:

我*喜欢*精灵

Can we amend the italics button to use * if you have a section highlighted that butts against another letter.
