Compose text field crashing when trying to input accents via physical keyboard

Question

I noticed my Compose app crashing when an accent input ( ´ ` ) is made via a physical keyboard to a TextField. As soon as the button is pressed the app crashes with a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException.

To reproduce:

1. Connect a physical keyboard
2. Focus the TextField
3. Hit the ` ´ button

Tested with a bluetooth and usb keyboard on a Pixel 3a (API 31). I could reproduce it with the following minimal example (just an activity with a text field):

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContent {
        AccentTestTheme {
            // A surface container using the 'background' color from the theme
            Surface(color = MaterialTheme.colors.background) {
                var text = remember { mutableStateOf("Hello") }

                TextField(
                    value = text.value,
                    onValueChange = { text.value = it },
                    label = { Text("Label") }
                )
            }
        }
    }
  }
}

Did anyone experience similar issues? You can work around it by using a standard Android text view but I was wondering if this could be solved in Compose alone. Here's the resulting exception
