PDFBOX-5747: fix combining diacritics, by Richard Eckart de Castilho

> Surrogate pairs with combining diacritics are incorrectly ordered on text 
> extraction
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>                 Key: PDFBOX-5747
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5747
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Text extraction
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.30
>            Reporter: P Crossa
>            Priority: Major
>         Attachments: 
> PDFBOX-5747-unicode-surrogate-with-diacritic-reduced.pdf, PDFBOX-5747.patch, 
> invchar.pdf

> When extending {*}{{PDFTextStripper}}{*}, the *{{writeString}}* override 
> receives a {*}{{List<TextPosition>}}{*}. When iterating over them, the 
> {{*getUnicode()*}} call should return the Unicode representation of the 
> extracted text.
> However, for glyphs that require a surrogate pair (such as some mathematical 
> symbols, e.g. 𝑋) that are modified with a combining diacritic (such as ^), 
> the extracted Unicode characters are out of order.
> The attached PDF contains 𝑋̂. This is composed of 𝑋, which is represented as 
> the surrogate pair {color:#cc7832}\uD835\uDC4B {color}and the combining 
> diacritic {color:#cc7832}\u0302{color}
> {color:#172b4d}However, when extracted, we get 
> {color}\uD835\u0302\uDC4B{color:#172b4d} (the combining diacritic is placed 
> in between the two characters of the surrogate pair). This is an invalid 
> representation, and when encoded as a Json will break most parsers. The 
> expected output would be {color}\uD835\uDC4B\u0302
