There are 31 instance of the circumflex accent in the source text (both MD & HTML).

The first example is in Mark 11:32:

ᎢᏳᏃ ᏴᏫᏉ ᎠᏁᎲ ᏱᎦᏛᏅ,^ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏂᏍᎦᎢᎮ ᏴᏫ; ᏂᎦᏛᏰᏃ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎬᏩᏰᎸᎭ ᏣᏂ.

The original here shows a long dash. An em dash should be restored here and elsewhere.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᏴᏫᏉ ᎠᏁᎲ ᏱᎦᏛᏅ,—ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏂᏍᎦᎢᎮ ᏴᏫ; ᏂᎦᏛᏰᏃ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎬᏩᏰᎸᎭ ᏣᏂ.

NB. Observe that there's no space after the preceding comma in this location and several others.

II Corinthians 6:13 has a space before the location but this one has no preceding comma.

ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᏍᎩᏯᎫᏴᏓᏁᎲ —ᏗᏇᏥ ᏥᎦᏥᏬᏁᏗᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏨᏬᏁᏗᎭ^ᎾᏍᏉ ᏂᎯ ᏗᏣᏛᏃᎯ.

It would be sensible to check each such location against the original.

btw. The Galvji font does support the em dash.

NB. I've not dug deeper into how the files are generated and what form of encoding may have been used and why.

I guess that this issue is due to them having been improperly decoded.
