Resolution: I uninstalled calibre 7.15 and deleted all the library directories. Then I installed the distro version, 6.13, and copied over all the directories from the other computer where the fcitx integration was working. Luckily I had cloned that from the first computer shortly before doing the upgrade to 7.15 so I do not think I lost anything.
Now I can type the Chinese characters again. Going forward, I will ignore calibre telling me that a new version is available and will just use what the distro offers.
