I think that's a macOS problem that Apple aren't going to resolve* any
time soon! While banging my head against PR81114 recently, I found
(can't remember where) that (lower case a acute) and (lower case a,
combining acute) represent the same concept and it's up to
tools/operating systems etc to recognise that.
Emacs, too, has a problem: it doesn't recognise the 'combining' part of
(lower case a, combining acute), so what you see on your screen is "a'".
* I don't know how/whether clang addresses this.
