it is displaying in Emacs like:
I want to use Unicode (without Tex).
EDIT
in reply to Drew's comment:
What I want is to put the arrow above the letter something like this:
It appears in my browser correctly.
Yes, sure I can move the cursor past the arrow but before the E.
doing C-u C-x =

C-u C-x =
? What does Emacs tell you then about what that character is? 3. Can you move your cursor past the arrow but before theE
? That would indicate that there are two characters present. If so, put your cursor there and doC-u C-x =
. Try to provide as much info as you can about just what you want and what you get instead. – Drew Dec 26 '17 at 21:46
