Problem with `Mark Typing Strictly` and Word Separation

When I have a word entry in the column with strict typing, that has two options, that need to be visible, because the word has two different variations that don’t occur in English.

E.g.

la vagabunda ; el vagabundo

When strict typing is off, the semi-colon works, I’m able to choose one of the answers. And it’s marked correct.

However when I use this column with strict typing on, / ; , do not work for seperating the words. I am forced to write everything ‘la vagabunda;el vagabundo’ etc, in order to have a correct answer. Turning off strict typing testing isn’t an option because the nature of my course requires me to test diacritic spelling.

My question is; is there a character that bypasses strict typing that functions as a seperator.
