In Visual Studio I want to use a character which is composed of a dead key plus another key.

I type this : ` + e -> è

VS takes it as : 96 + 101 -> 232 ( and only shows 232)

or in HEx : 0060 + 0065 -> 00e8 ( and only shows 00e8 )

My problem now is that I want to be able to have access to both input key strokes ( eg 96 / 101 ) not the combined. (232) . How do I do that?

In addition I need to be able to distinguish other dead keys like backspace, linefeed, etc.

    Are you writing a Visual Studio extension? Or why should it work within Visual Studio? Can you provide information re the programming language and technologies you are using? – Codo Aug 17 '21 at 10:50

You could add a U+FEFF (ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE) between the two characters U+0060 and U+0065 this will keep the two characters separate but will also treat the three of them as a unit for line break opperations.
