This looks like you're attempting to generate headers for a bug report,
except that you're writing to debian-user rather than to the bug tracking
system, and you've accidentally put blank lines in between the headers.

This is some form of "dead keys" mode. There isn't an n with caret,
but if you were to type, say, ^ and a, I bet you would end up with â.
If you want to disable dead keys mode, you can try various Google
results. There are so many different and confusing results that I
don't know which one to recommend, as I have never enabled it myself,
and wouldn't know how to enable it *or* disable it.
It would also help if you specified which desktop environment, if any,
you're using. Knowing that might be a necessary part of the solution.
