The only correct way to solve the problem is to build a computer system
that manage these diacritical marks. Computer engineers have to think about
that, it is not always the human being that must follow the "computer
ones".
So, ask them.

Even now, we have many possibilities to configure our systems so they
manage the problem.
Ask your computer administrator.

Computerely.
