The attached sample project shows a text view that contains detailed information about this issue (in the text view and in its README.rtf). Run it in iOS Simulator for iPad.

In short: When you enter an accented character via marked text at the end of a text view and then hit ⌘Z, an exception is raised.

To reproduce the crash, simply follow these steps (assumes a US keyboard layout):
• Run this sample project in the iOS Simulator for iPad.
• Click the “Capture Keyboard” button in the toolbar of the simulator (not sure if this is necessary, but keyboard shortcuts seem to work more reliable with this activated).
• There’s a text view shown. At the end of the text, type ⌥E to insert an accent character (´). Note that the text view inserts the accent as marked text.
• Type e so the marked text is replaced with é
• Hit ⌘Z to undo
• Crash 💥

Expected behavior:
Undo the change.

Actual behavior:
Crash.

Tested on in iOS Simulator for iPad Air (3rd generation), iOS 13.5, Xcode 11.5 (11E608c)
