As we deal with internationalization of our application we are seeing odd behavior from the ComboBox in IE 11 when the Placeholder is in a language using Unicode characters.
For example, the placeholder text "Select Ingredient" in English translates to
Vælg ingrediens - Danish
Wählen Sie Ingredient - German
Seleccione Ingrediente - Spanish
Välj ingrediens - Swedish
In English and Spanish, the ComboBox loads correctly. However, in Danish, German, and Swedish the ComboBox loads into the page already open. The same thing happens if I try to convert those Unicode characters to HTML-encoded. Is there a workaround?

Hello Chris,
This is a known IE bug, not a problem in our components. See Iankodj's comment in this issue: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/4638#issuecomment-440240222
which contains more details on this IE behavior and demonstrates the "input" event being triggered by non-ASCII characters in a standard input element, without using any Kendo UI widgets.
