## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This is a standard character set addition, with new entries in the
Language enum, the sets themselves added to CharacterMappings.All and
new resource strings for the user-facing names in the Settings page.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
(Manual tests.)
- Confirmed that the new character set entries were present in the Quick
Accent settings page list.
- Tested that each of the characters in both the sets could be selected
and typed.
