Support non ascii characters with accents (common in Europe) #9

Describe the bug / feature

When typing accented letters (such as in French), instead of typing for example é, picotron will display 2 square boxes, like ▤▤

image

Something when writing some code, we can accidentally trigger such letters, but the fact there are 2 characters makes it tedious to erase them: the cursor then will place itself between the 2 boxes and you have to backspace the first one and erase the second one.

Expected behavior

picotron should display utf-8 characters, or if it's not possible, display a "degraded" letters (é->e, ù->u), or if it's not complicated, not trigger anything when typing such a letter.

Confirmed also on macOS. Create an acute accent, e.g. option+e and then the letter to accent, e.g. a... creates lots of empty glyph boxes. Support of essential letters beyond ascii would be great. Relates to #5.

Re-tested with release v0.1.0d on macOS. Issue still exists.
