TL;DR: Can't use E while entering Unicode on NumPad — conflicting with Options menu

OK, so I finally got entering Hex Unicode chars on my laptop using the NumPad working using this answer from this link

But when I was trying to enter the Irony Mark (? U+2E2E), as soon as I hit the E, Options opened up like in old-style menus where pressing Alt + letter brought up the relevant menu. This annoying behaviour doesn't let me enter any Unicode code-point that has an E. This works fine outside Chrome.

How can I stop this?

On Windows 7, dir or tree can't show unicode characters, even starting cmd with cmd /U So I would press Window Key + R to run something, and type in cmd /U so that the content might handle Unicode.
