>
> For the purpose of determining the position in text, the Japanese characters
> U+30fc (KATAKANA-HIRAGANA PROLONGED SOUND MARK) and U+3005 (IDEOGRAPHIC
> ITERATION MARK) are currently regarded "simple" diacritics. Apparently, they
> are fully-fledged characters in terms of text positioning.
> This can have the effect that when extracting text, some characters get
> actually reversed (particularly ーン can get ンー).
> A patch to fix this is attached.
