[Python] Get all Cyrillic characters with any type of accent/diacritics [closed]

I need to identify any Cyrillic (and only Cyrillic) with diacritics (all types). The code I provided works quite well except it doesn't catch combined characters (first group in the test string, е́ doesn't have accent displayed for some reason).

import unicodedata

# Define Cyrillic Unicode ranges
cyrillic_ranges = [
(0x0400, 0x04FF), # Cyrillic
(0x0500, 0x052F), # Cyrillic Supplement
(0x2DE0, 0x2DFF), # Cyrillic Extended-A
(0xA640, 0xA69F), # Cyrillic Extended-B
(0x1C80, 0x1C8F), # Cyrillic Extended-C
(0x1E030, 0x1E08F), # Cyrillic Extended-D
(0x1D2B, 0x1D2B), # Phonetic Extension (ᴫ)
(0x1D78, 0x1D78) # Phonetic Extension (ᵸ)
]

diacritics = {
0x0300, 0x0301, 0x0303, 0x0304, 0x0306, 0x0307, 0x0308, 0x030A,
0x030B, 0x030C, 0x030F, 0x0311, 0x0323, 0x0328, 0x0331, 0x033E
}

def is_cyrillic_with_diacritic(char):
char_code = ord(char)
if any(start <= char_code <= end for start, end in cyrillic_ranges):
normalized = unicodedata.normalize('NFD', char)
return any(unicodedata.combining(c) for c in normalized)
return False

# Example text
text = "а́е́Ы́ ё́ќѓЀЃЌЍѐѓќѝ нЧǎȟáỳýćé" #1st group not caught, 2nd group caught, 3rd not caught and shouldn't be caught (latin or cyrillic without diacritics)

# Extract Cyrillic characters with diacritics
filtered_chars = [char for char in text if is_cyrillic_with_diacritic(char)]

# Print the result
print("Cyrillic letters with diacritics:", ''.join(filtered_chars))
