Well, this might be monstrous overkill, but I remember something I
wrote a long long time ago (2012) which could be used:

The initial problem was to replace many specific Unicode characters
within words with colored versions.

I'm not going to bother making the code more elegant, but I got it to
handle your text.  Note you have to put any character your text
includes in the definition of "all-characters".= or that character
won't appear.  I put in the characters with accents that your text
uses.

For the fun of it, you can add other characters to the definition of
"characters-to-color".

For what it's worth, probably the answer given by Fr. Samuel Springuel
is better for your use case :)

Best,
