I know this is not a solution, but a kludgy workaround.  I've had to do
this myself on occasion.  If you write the special letters somewhere else,
you can copy them and then paste with Edit->Paste Text.

I have no idea how to do non-ascii input[1], much less how to handle it in
a program.  For characters typed directly from the keyboard, I think it
should work (any confirmation), but we don't handle multi-key input.

does.
