VisualEditor seems to take particular pleasure in abusing circumflexes.

Issue 1: VE duplicates the first character entered after a circumflexed letter at the end of a line.

* Steps to reproduce: In VE, enter the text êtt (actually enter the characters individually, don't copy/paste) at the end of a line.
* Expected result: "êtt" is entered.
* Actual result: "êtt<newline>t" is entered.

Issue 2: At the beginning of a line, VE turns a circumflexed letter into a pawn character when removing text entered after the circumflexed letter.

* Steps to reproduce: In VE, enter the text êtt at the beginning of a line, then delete the last 't'.
* Expected result: "êt"
* Actual result: "♙t"

There's also some wonky behavior when dealing with circumflexed letters in the middle of a line, but I'm assuming that the descriptions above will be enough to help you investigate VE's blatant circumflexphobia.
