Current Behavior

Hi there! If you get unlucky and get a word with "œ" in French (like "œuvre"), you cannot write the word, as there is no key for this character on French keyboards. Writing "o" then "e", like you would in Microsoft Word, counts the whole word as wrong.
I can see that the opposite issue was adressed in https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype/issues/5437.

Expected Behavior

Typing "o" then "e" in a word with the "œ" character (like "œuvre") should insert "œ".

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Go to Monkeytype
  2. Select "French 1k"
  3. Refresh until you get to write the word "œuvre"
Environment
  • OS: MacOS 26
  • Browser: Microsoft Edge
  • Browser Version: 146.0.3856.84

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Monkeytype using the French 1k language and a word such as "œuvre". Start by tracing the text-input handling for sequential "o" and "e" keystrokes and compare it with the behavior described in issue #5437. Done means typing "oe" accepts the word as "œ" without marking it wrong.
