The text method different output the Chinese/Japanese string which use the gd/imagic.

Describe the bug
gd output chinese string need to unicode
imagic not need

Code Example

$manger = Intervention\Image\ImageManager::imagick();
$manger->text("中国");
$manger = Intervention\Image\ImageManager::gd();
$manger->text("中国");
$manger->text(toUnicode("中国"));

function toUnicode($string){
        $str = mb_convert_encoding($string, 'UCS-2', 'UTF-8');
        $arrstr = str_split($str, 2);
        $unistr = '';
        foreach ($arrstr as $n) {
            $dec = hexdec(bin2hex($n));
            $unistr .= '&#' . $dec . ';';
        }
        return $unistr;
    }

Expected behavior
do not toUnicode when use the gd.

I can not reproduce this issue. Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the GD and/or Imagick library and a font that supports the corresponding characters.

$image = ImageManager::withDriver($driver)
    ->create(300, 300)
    ->fill('fff');

$image->text("中国", 150, 150, function ($font) {
    $font->filename('ArialUnicodeMS.ttf');
    $font->size(70);
    $font->color('000');
    $font->align('center');
    $font->valign('middle');
});

PHP Version: 8.3.4
OS: MacOS
Intervention Image Version: 3.6.2
Imagick 3.7.0 / ImageMagick 7.1.1-27 Q16-HDRI aarch64
GD 2.3.3

$fonts = "/fonts/msyh.ttf";
$mgr = Intervention\Image\ImageManager::imagick();
//$mgr = Intervention\Image\ImageManager::gd();
$img = $mgr->create(400,300);
$text="我是中国人";
$txt_color="rgba(121,143,85,1)";
$img->text($text,50,100,function (Intervention\Image\Typography\FontFactory $font) use ($fonts,$txt_color){
    $font->file($fonts);
    $font->size(30);
    $font->color($txt_color);
    $font->align('left');
    $font->valign('bottom');
});

Works as well. Maybe upgrading to a newer GD version helps.
