Unicode Character U+1037 Shifts One Character Forward When Saved

Description:
Image showing parser error when saved and rendered.

When we write articles and save them Wikipedia does not seem to save it as exactly written but move the character U+1037 forward by exactly one character. This is reproducible. An Image is also attached showing the problem.

Reproducible: Yes
Steps to Reproduce:
Enter this Unicode Data in an new article and save: U+1014 U+103E U+1004 U+103A U+1037
Actual Result: U+1014 U+103E U+1004 U+1037 U+103A
Expected Result: U+1014 U+103E U+1004 U+103A U+1037

The data should have been the same. This happens on all occurances of U+1037 and is tending to be a big problem in Myanmar Wikipedia. Some fonts that try to show incorrect sequence of encoding do so by using a dotted model, hence Wikipedia pages look ugly with it. It needs to be fixed before Myanmar Wikipedia adoption picks up. I have attached an image showing the problem.
Thx.
Ravi.

That is expected, because we do Unicode normalisation for all input. See bug 2399 for more technical details.
