The problem here undoubtedly is that the Python you are using is linked with 
the Apple-provided system version of Tk 8.5.9 which exhibits this nasty 
behavior of crashing when pressing a composing key. The system version of Tk is 
woefully out of date with other serious bugs and hasn’t been updated by Apple 
for many macOS releases despite many bug reports. Their response has been to 
deprecate the system Tk and they will eventually remove it. That’s why Python 
binary installers from Python.org now provide their own copy of Tk 8.6. You 
should update to a macOS build of Python 3.8 or 3.9 that also uses a newer 
version of Tk. Issue22566 has more details.
