They do handle such letters - at least onkeypress() -
you can see that on my page where I offer say a person with French
keyboard mode in use to type such letters but I place on screen
a Russian letter, instead:

Choose there "French" in the menu (one with a comment
"If your keyboard is not in the 'US English' mode")
and then change your system keyboard to "FR" and type such letter(s).

To see where the letters are in French layout "FR" please go here:
