Description
### What Happened?
See screen recording below.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/acb2bd88-4599-421f-9593-a42a542aba63
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Boot the elementary OS 8 install media and start the installer.
2. In the keyboard layout setup, choose a language with accented characters (like Spanish or Portuguese), then try typing them in the test box.
### Expected Behavior
When I press the key combination `´` + `e` it should produce `é`, which it does; but it's also producing `é´` — `é` followed by a lone accent character `´`.
Same with `^` + `e` = `ê`. It produces `ê^`.
