Hi :)
Could it be a problem with the user profile?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
It's often good to start by renaming the User Profile just to see if whatever weirdness vanishes 
after doing that.  You might end-up copying the user profile back, or chunks of it back but 
renaming the profile is a good way of "getting back to factory defaults".  
or is it something weird about fonts and choosing the 'wrong' symbol somehow?  Is the ^ on the top 
of the 6 key or is it selected as a  special character?
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, that's what I thought, but it works fine on my Mac OSX 10.6.8 :
LibreOffice 3.5.3.2
Version ID : 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80
