Dead keys are unhandled, renders tilde with extra space. #4

The czech layout relies requires to use dead keys for letters ť ň

Short explanation, when you press dead key for ˇ a character is not put on display and awaits next character to be chosen, if then type n you'll get ň which does not exist on keyboard as separate key. When dead key is pressed, the (~) tilde + some extra space is rendered.

For comparsion, Alacritty vs Wayst, Wayst is on top.

Did be456de0305a4c534bb55eceb6e64bde575d38e6 fix this? Not sure if I'm testing this properly.

@91861 No sorry, it just skips all dead keys, making them not work at all.
