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
- Go to Monkeytype
- Select "French 1k"
- Refresh until you get to write the word "œuvre"
Environment
- OS: MacOS 26
- Browser: Microsoft Edge
