you should use lc_ctype not to C.
```
postgres=# \l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges
-----------+----------+----------+------------+------------+-----------------------
newdb | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 |
postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 |
template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 | =c/postgres +
| | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres
template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 | en_US.UTF8 | =c/postgres +
| | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres
(4 rows)
postgres=# select show_trgm('hello你好');
show_trgm
------------------------------------------------------
{0xcf7970,0xfe5170,0x114ebf," h"," he",ell,hel,llo}
(1 row)
postgres=# create database testdb with template template0 lc_ctype='C';
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# \c testdb
You are now connected to database "testdb" as user "postgres".
testdb=# create extension pg_trgm;
CREATE EXTENSION
testdb=# select show_trgm('hello你好');
show_trgm
---------------------------------
{" h"," he",ell,hel,llo,"lo "}
(1 row)

pg_trgm relies on libc's functions (specifically, iswalpha()) to determine
what is a word character or not. Unfortunately, the UTF8 locale support
in macOS is pretty incomplete, and I don't find it too surprising that
it's not recognizing Chinese characters as alphabetic. Now, you could
make a good argument that they *shouldn't* be considered alphabetic in
an en_US locale; but I'm unsure whether switching to a more appropriate
locale will help.
Anyway, I'd first try zh_CN.UTF-8, and if that doesn't fix it, the place
to complain is https://bugreport.apple.com/ ... I'm sure they know about
it already, but the number of reports has an impact on how fast they
fix things.
