Yes. You have a node, domain and resource which you need to escape
before concatenating them into JID.
I didn't see any XMPP client, which requires to enter node and server
separately in send message dialogs (I did see clients which asks for
chatroom names).

Well... You shouldn't show such a monstrosity to a user.
Use the JID parts wisely. Show username, domain eventually resource.
In general, I can show unescaped JID. But what's the idea of XEP-0106 then?

It's an invalid entry and you should return an error to the user.
You've asked for a JID and the text entered isn't a valid JID.
There is no way of telling which part is what without some external
information.
Unfortunately, it means that to be able to send message to such a
strange JID the user has to khow how to escape it. Should users read
XEPs? :)
