Here is Unicode Technical Standard #18 written by Mark Davis himself that gives clues to what Unicode means by "characters":
http://unicode.org/reports/tr18/ Look for: "One or more Unicode characters may make up what the user thinks of as a character. To avoid ambiguity with the computer use of the term character, this is called a grapheme cluster. For example, "G" + acute-accent is a grapheme cluster: it is thought of as a single character by users, yet is actually represented by two Unicode characters."
