Most reasonable solution is to locate dictionary on your system and add 
ICONV replacement table as in

    https://github.com/krunose/hr-hunspell/blob/master/hr_HR.aff

so at least you don't get aáa flaged (gets ignored), but again, you 
still get suggestion aaa if you misspell accented word: aáb > aaa when 
you'd expect aáa.

Spelling checker is for writing regular texts and not designed for 
highly technical linguistic text with lot of accents and other special 
symbols.

Fell free to ask if you have any further questions, but this is best 
possible solution (but workaround actually).
