Describe the bug
¨ and Shift+¨ (should be !) doesn't work well on Swiss German keyboard from MacOS Big Sur acting as server to Windows 10 20H2 acting as client.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run server on MacOS Big Sur, use Magic Keyboard with Swiss German layout
  2. Run client on Windows 10 20H2 (running on a Dell laptop, doesn't really matter)
  3. Type ¨ key a first time, nothing happens, then a second time, and only then it'll bring the ¨ char. Using Shift on that key is supposed to output some !, but it never comes.

Here's the log on both ends :

Using this : https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html it says it's a dead key ? See screenshot attached.

Expected behavior
¨ should come at first key press and ! when pressing with Shift, that last one simply never comes.

@sgrienen commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2021):

I've recently updated to 2.4.0 and now I've also lost the > and < key (on a Swiss layout keyboard it's located right to the left Shift). The key is working perfectly on my Mac, but moving over to the PC via Barrier, it's simply doing nothing. MacOS is not Monterey (12.0.1) and PC Is still running 20H2. Here some logs to show what happens
