send_keys("é") to IE11 <input/> element sends e instead of é

[rdharrison2]

Meta -

OS:
Windows 10 Pro (1703)
Selenium Version:
3.4.0
Browser:
IE11 (11.540.15063.0)
IEDriverServer.exe 3.5.1.0 (32-bit)

Expected/Actual Behavior -

Input field text box should have value "é" but actually has "e".

Steps to reproduce -

Using python selenium, run this script on a selenium server running remotely on a Win10 VM:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://<server-ip>:4444/wd/hub",
    webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("lst-ib")  # the main search box
elem.send_keys(u"é")

The search box should show é but has e (no accent) instead. The same thing works with other non-ascii characters such as ç or 日本語, but whenever I use é the browser shows e instead (and submits e).

The same scenario works using IE11 (11.0.9600.17358) on Windows7 so it could well be a Windows10 thing I don't understand.

IE driver log at TRACE looks like this:

So, it looks like IE driver is being asked to send the right text.

I can manually enter é on browser into the field so it seems like a bug in IEdriver or something I don't understand in terms of keyboard mapping?
