Acute key not working in i3wm

Hello,

When I switch to i3 from my desktop environments (xfce & gnome) I cannot use the acute key on the keyboard.

It is possible to use it in other D.E as i said and even when I press Shift + Acute ( which is equal to tilde key) Tilde works!

So I've tried to change my keyboard layout as specified in the arch wiki here : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg
         With command " setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout cz,us -variant ,dvorak -option grp:alt_shift_toggle "
with no success and so i reverted back to just us layout.

Here is my output on xev

FocusOut event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

I asked this in i3 IRC channel and they said it maybe my i3 configurations, so i striped them off to almost nothing and this
behavior was still there.

Please help me, and if the information is not enough i can specify more, just tell me what to provide or which log file to read.
