In reply to Gary Taylor.

Hello. Could you expand on your experience? I ask because this is deeply unexpected and I would like to see how I can help.

Gutenberg does support multilingual character input, to the extent of the Unicode set, and has done so from the start. The majority of Gutenberg's active contributors have a mothertongue that isn't English, and regularly compose posts using anything from accented Latin scripts (Portuguese, Spanish, French, Polish, etc.) to non-Latin scripts (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, etc.).

Could I ask you to provide the following information? You may reply here, or file an issue (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues), or message me directly in the WordPress Slack (https://make.wordpress.org/chat/), where my username is mcsf.

- Exact version of WordPress
- Exact version of the Gutenberg plugin, if any
- Browser and operating system versions
- Type of physical keyboard and configured layout
- Exact instructions on reproducing the issue
- (strongly recommended) A screencast in which you reproduce the issue. In case you are unfamiliar with this process, there are many tools and guides. See: https://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Screencast
