Maybe (I'm not familiar with Unicode input in Allegro).

I think no.  Some games need all keys to be accessible, so Allegro
tries to get all key presses and releases and usually do all necessary
translations itself.  I think it is possible to instruct Allegro to
combine some keys into accented character (have not tried it though).

BTW, what does your program return when you try to enter accented
character?  Does it return both keys you type, or only one key, or
something else?
