This is intentional as we prefer to pick a font that can render both the special character and the following character(s). Perhaps this is not desirable during input.

Over to editing team for their input.

Assign to drott@ to hear about font expert's opinion.

Q: Can we use only one font for all characters in input box?
Q: If yes, how to pick the one which should cover all characters.
Q: ... another idea to fix a font during editing

From editing perspective, it is OK to change font for based on input text
since fonts are specified by the page (see below for font-family in daum.net).

BTW, I could not reproduce the behavior on Win10.

font-fmaily used in input box in daum.net are:
 - AppleSDGothicNeo-Regular,
 - 'Malgun Gothic',
 = '맑은 고딕',
 -dotum,
 - '돋움',
 - sans-serif
