On recognized 'A' you should enqueue 'A' (and remember this char). On
recognized accent stroke you should check remembered char and in case of
possible accent enqueue backspace (code 0x8) and accented character. All
palmos field controls handle this sequence properly and produce single
accented char in field instead of 3-character sequence.
My DeadHack works in the similar manner and reversed char order, with
deadkey first.
