Special characters mis-rendering

I am having problems entering [[ ]] & {{ }}. The first character of [ renders okay, putting in a second [ changes the first to a ʽ. Putting in the first ] works okay, putting in a second ] changes the first to a ʼ. Putting in a { creates that character with a squiggly line at the bottom, something like a "3" character lying on its left side & inserts a new line after the cursor. Entering a second { creates another "3" character lying on its left side (leaving the first { with its sideways "3"), but I cannot select it with my mouse cursor or put it to the right of this character if it is at the end of the line. Entering a < sometimes backspaces over the previous character & then displays a | symbol. Entering > seems to work as normal.

I am experiencing this on Firefox 61.0.2 (64-bit) running on Windows 10 Home version 1803 build 17134.228. I have also observed this on MS Edge on Windows 10 & similar problems with Chrome in desktop mode on my iPhone 6+. I do not have problems with [[ ]] on Internet Explorer on Windows 10, but entering { does & displays nothing.

Peaceray, are you still having this problem? Did you accidentally enable the IPA keyboard?
