The COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT seems to be missing here, by the way:

             position: 788 of 925 (85%), restriction: <502-926>, column: 2
            character: â (displayed as â) (codepoint 226, #o342, #xe2)
    preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0xE2
               script: latin
               syntax: w        which means: word
             category: .:Base, L:Left-to-right (strong), j:Japanese, l:Latin, 
v:Viet
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET HEX-CODEPOINT" or "C-x 8 RET NAME"
          buffer code: #xC3 #xA2
            file code: #xC3 #xA2 (encoded by coding system utf-8-emacs)
              display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans 
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#xA4)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX
  old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER A CIRCUMFLEX
  general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
  decomposition: (97 770) ('a' '̂')

There are text properties here:
  face                 (gnus-cite-1 message-cited-text)
  fontified            t
