Description

I can't insert special characters such as @ with ctrl+alt+2, using altGr+2 works normally.
The only combinations that work are ctrl+alt+0 and ctrl+alt+?. I found this issue concerning the latter one.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use ISO Nordic layout
  2. Open Windows Terminal
  3. Press ctrl+alt+2

Expected behaviour

Inputs @ to terminal

Actual behaviour

Inputs nothing to terminal

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.928]
Windows Terminal: Version: 1.7.1033.0
Keyboard Layout:  ISO Nordic
