Entering some Unicode characters causes Chrome to trap the keystrokes

Project Member Reported by palmer@chromium.org, Mar 14 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 56.0.2924.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Windows 10

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Visit any page with a <textarea> or other text entry element
(2) Enter Unicode characters with the Alt+NumPad method, e.g. Alt+0237 (i with acute accent)
(3) In the case of i with acute (at least), Chrome navigates to the home page (e.g. moma for Googlers). Other characters, e.g. Alt+0235 (ë), do not cause this problem.

What is the expected result?

I want to see the i with acute accent show up in the text area. :)

What happens instead?

i with acute accent appears, but then the page immediately navigates to the home page.

I found another one: When you try to type it into a textarea, em-dash (Alt+2014) causes Chrome to navigate back to the previous page.

When you type Alt+2014 into the Omnibox, however, you get a black rectangle character, instead of an em-dash, and without causing any weird navigation.

It seems dead Alt+{Digit}* handling incomplete in browser side.

Alt+0237 = U+00ED
Alt+2014 = U+07ED

Related Windows Virtual Key (VKEY) handling?

Not a blink issue but a UI navigation issue.

This isn't so much navigation as keyboard shortcuts, I think.  (I'm certainly not familiar with how keyboard shortcuts lead to navigations.)
