Composing characters on iOS physical keyboard duplicates diacritic #1753
Description
When using an external physical keyboard with iOS (like Apple's "Magic" keyboard), to type an accented letter like "é", one hits Option+E and then E. Currently if you try this in the app, it comes out instead like "´é" — the desired character appears, but preceded by a second copy of the accent or other diacritic.
To spell out the example potentially more readably: the output is ´é, i.e. the two characters
´ U+00B4 ACUTE ACCENT
é U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
where it should be just that second character.

It's a known issue upstream: flutter/flutter#146486. There's a diagnosis (flutter/flutter#146486 (comment)) from a few months ago, and there's a related PR which has active work on it (updated just last week). So with luck it's already on track to get fixed sometime in the next few months.
