Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1081

Describe the bug
If I copy a character with an accent such as é from a macOS client and paste in the Linux server, the character gets pasted as ?. If I copy the same character from the Linux server and paste in the macOS client, it pastes correctly.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to macOS barrier client and copy é
Go to Linux barrier server and paste
Note pasted character shows as ?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Server OS: Arch Linux 5.10.17
Server Barrier version: 2.3.3
Client OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Client Barrier version: 2.3.3

Additional context

In case keyboard settings might be related, I use an English keyboard (dvorak layout) and work in English, but occasionally need to work with French text.
