Vscode unicode auto completion does not work in julia 1.10.4

Vs code doesn’t register the unicode auto completion anymore. For example when I type, \sigma , the unicode character doesn’t appear anymore. My current Julia is 1.10.4 but I think it happened earlier than this release.
This is in my Mac VS code btw. Also note that unicode character completion works fine when you open the REPL in the terminal. So its VS code .ipynb/.jl script related issue.

Not sure how to sort this out any ideas ?

You can install a vscode extension to do this independent of Julia: Unicode Latex - Visual Studio Marketplace

(There also seem to be several forks of this extension, e.g. GitHub - studykit/unicode-latex: A visual studio code extension to insert Unicode symbols given LaTeX symbol names and Unicode LaTeX Input - Visual Studio Marketplace … but it’s not clear to me that these are any better?)
