The (e.g.) combining Acute Accent (codepoint 0x301, utf-8 representation

That is
echo -e "e\xcc\x81e" | iconv -f utf-8
is supposed to show two e with the first having an accent.
This works as you say it should for me, in gnome-terminal and kgx
(gnome-console).
kgx gets it right for me, too.
What byte sequence is output from iconv on your system?
(echo -e "e\xcc\x81e" | iconv -f utf-8 | xxd)
I expect that the answer should be:
00000000: 65cc 8165 0a e..e.
Indeed. I only added the iconv in case someone wants to reproduce with a
non-utf-8 encoding.
which is U+0065 'e', U+0301 combining acute accent, U+0065 'e', newline.
ii libpango-1.0-0 1.54.0+ds-3
I have version 1.55.0+ds-3, if that matters.
ii libvte-2.91-0 0.78.1-1
I have version 0.78.2-1, if that matters.
I updated these two to the version you have (i.e. current unstable) and
the problem persists in gnome-terminal (even after a reboot).
Then maybe a transitive dependency is the culprit???
Best regards
Uwe
