3713829 - Multi byte unicode characters in timesheet note text causing an issue in Manage My Timesheet App

Timesheet NOTE text containing multi-byte Unicode characters (all characters that are wider than 1 byte like emojis or the sign '#') positioned near the truncation boundary gets corrupted when truncated causing data inconsistencies.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

• While recording the time using the app 'Manage My Timesheet' or the API API_MANAGE_WORKFORCE_TIMESHEET, the timesheet NOTE text entered is: qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty 1234567891 😄
• The timesheet NOTE after truncation is saved as: qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty 1234567891 #  which leads to inconsistency.

• Emojis are multi-byte Unicode characters and Truncation logic is based on character length.
• When an emoji is positioned exactly at the truncation boundary, the character is split resulting in Unicode corruption stored as # in fixed-length fields.

• Truncation logic is enhanced to prevent persistence of corrupted Unicode characters in timesheet records.
• For existing timesheet records which contain multi byte unicode character please create an incident in the component CA-TS-S4 for correcting the data.
