assuming you mean U+00CA and U+00CB for your two characters, I see Ê (E+^)
and Ë (E+") for these two, and that seems to be correct.

check which font you are using (ctrl-shift-click on a character to see
whether it consists of multiple fonts, and what the base font for the
character is), and then check whether your font actually has the correct
glyphs.

if you (or urxvt ;) use terminus, then most likely the glyphs are simply
swapped, a common problem with that font family.
