"This is because, although " ´ " is construed as "complex" char and inserted properly the next "s" character is treated as non-complex character as it's utf8Length is 1 and utf16Length is 2, so we need to explicitly make it a "complex" char sequence if the code point is 0x73 ie "s" in Finnish layout for it to be inserted properly." I know nothing about this area, so some questions. " although " ´ " is construed as "complex" char and inserted properly " Since we had no special treatment of this char, what was treating it as complex and why ? Why do we need to make s be a complex char (whatever that actually means here ??) in order to display as s ?? Sounds backwards. Really I just can't make sense of the explanation. Can you point me to docs as well as re-explaining it ? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7262
