Sorry it's taken this long for someone to get back to you.

First, do you know if this is still a problem for you?

If so, how are you entering the CJK characters?

I find in Emacs 25 that if I try entering a greek alpha by typing:

C-x 8 RET GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA

It inserts the character, however when I bind the same character to a
key, eg.:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") "α")

and enter it that way it works as expected.

Is this similar?
