SUMMARY
graphic accents for regional configuration in Valencian
***
In the KDE Neon 5.26 distribution, if you set Valencian as the language in the regional settings [Catalan (ca@valencia)], the accents on the keyboard stop working. If you put the Catalan or Spanish language, it works.

This happens in both X11 and Wayland, but Wayland only happens in certain applications.
Examples:
Accents work in Firefox, Libreoffice, Inkscape under wayland
Accents do not work in Kwrite, Kate, Telegram Desktop, Dolphin under wayland

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Opens sistemsettings5 and go to "language and region"
2.  Modify language to "català (ca@valencia)"
3.  Exit or restart graphic session
4. Try to write at any app characters as è, é, à, á, etc.

OBSERVED RESULT
Characters are not reproduced with accents but without them (e, e, a, a)

EXPECTED RESULT
that come out written with graphic accents

Comment 1 Aleix Pol 2023-01-04 01:39:02 UTC 
Moving to systemsettings but it's likely elsewhere (Qt even?).

This happens after setting the LANG=ca_ES@valencia.UTF-8, I'm not sure why it would affect the keyboard response.
Comment 2 hanyoung 2023-01-04 13:59:04 UTC 
The correct locale should be ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia, not sure if this is caused by the incorrect locale.
Comment 3 hanyoung 2023-01-04 14:00:47 UTC 
kcm_regionandlang set wrong locale modifiers before, it's already been fixed: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2472
