Yes. I choose US keyboard with dead keys during installation, but when starting
Plasma Wayland that setting was not used.

Yes, after starting Wayland Plasma and your suggestion, I used KDE's
systemsettings5, to set the keyboard layout to US keyboard with dead keys,
after which the problem in the subject was solved.

The settings used during installation for the keyboard layout should be copied,
such that Plasma Wayland uses these settings, now these are not used.
