After updating to El Capitan I discovered that I was no longer able to type circumflexes. Before I was able to enable the "International Extended" keyboard in settings. Now it seems to be replaced with "ABC Extended", which does not permit me to type circumflexes in the way that I was used to. How can I input circumflexes in El Capitan?

The "~" key is located between the "left shift" and "Z" keys on the international english keyboard.
Many users are used to have this key under the escape key (the US layout), and they (including me) use the KeyRemap4MacBook software to swap those keys.
Edit: KeyRemap4MacBook is now called Karabiner. Here is a screenshot of the configuration I'm using to remap Section to Backquote key.
Edit: Karabiner does not work on macOS Sierra, however a new project is in development: Karabiner Elements. As of now, it can do the replacement in question:

ABC Extended behavior has not changed from that of US Extended, you type circumflex via option 6 and then the base character. Or the base character then option shift 6.
