strange behaviour when using some characters

(1/2) > >>

Stauricus:
hello
when I try to use some characters, like
--- Code: ---~ ^ ' `
--- End code ---
Codeblocks shows a little square with the signal inside (image attached).

and if I press any key (including print screen) it disappears without doing nothing, and the character is not entered in the editor. I'm unable to create class destructors in C++, for example, since I can't use ~. it used to work well, i don't know what happened...

i searched for it in the forum, but found no answer. any ideas?
thanks in advance!

BlueHazzard:
Operating system?
Keyboard Layout?
Codeblocks version?

Stauricus:
sorry, I forgot about that!

Linux 5.8.0-1-amd64
Debian Testing (Bullseye)
Keyboard ABNT2
Codeblocks 20.03

BlueHazzard:
Spanish Layouts had problems in the past on Mac with the ~ symbol...
Maybe Portuguese layouts have the same problem? Can you try with english layout, if it is still present?

Miguel Gimenez:
This is related to dead keys, and is a Debian 10 "feature":
