    There was a need of the settings update as below

    # Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Administrative language settings -> Change system locale button under Administrative Tab -> "Current system locale" as French (France)
    # -> which will get reflected in "Settings -> Time & Language -> Language" as "Français (France) Language pack installed" under "Preferred Language"

I have all the settings configured properly, but I get the same problem. Some diacritic are ignored. (like circumflex accent for example).

 

For instance : é and è are typed properly by TC but all of these letters > ä â à ë ê ì  ò ö ô, are ignored.

 

EDIT : after some investigations, the issue occur with "Sys.Keys" function. If I use the property Text of my textbox ( object.Text = value) all the letters with diacritics work. But in the case of my webapp, I can't use this method. My textbox need a real input to work properly.

EDIT 2 : I found a workaround. If I use low level procedures and write : "B^atiment" instead of "Bâtiment" it works.
