Quick Accent

Steps to reproduce

when I click h and want to output Ḥ and ḥ I found nothing, but they are useful in romanization of Arabic and Syriac. by the way I hope that after pressing letter key and left/right/space key, there are digitals below each letter with Accent, just like many chinese or japanese IME do.

Find the Quick Accent character mapping file (often a JSON or C# enum) in the PowerToys source under `src/modules/quickAccent/` and add the entries for Ḥ (U+1E24) and ḥ (U+1E25) following the existing pattern.
