Applying better typography to that representation would yield:

    U+0065 (e) + U+0302 (̂◌) = ê.


The “DejaVu Sans” font will render the above correctly.

And here is a list of Combining Diacritics, and as I mentioned before,
not all of them can be normalised into a single code-point “character”.
Also some languages even use multiple combining diacritics for a single
"character on the screen".
