Almost certainly, the font you're using doesn't support U+1E0E. Check  
the .log file for "Missing character" warnings, or set  
\tracingonline=1 to see these in the terminal output as well.

You need to choose a font that supports all the characters you're  
trying to use... e.g., Charis SIL supports just about every accented  
Latin letter in Unicode, so that might be useful to you.
