Ah cool, thanks. turns out that it's brltty, because if I change the braille code, I get the charactars to show up. My question now is: how do I type say an accented char? eg. in a text editor?

Ah cool, I don't use speech myself except for a bit of emacspeak and espeak sometimes, mainly braille, but good to know. Thanks!
