So I guess a user wanting to enter 'e̊' in response to the prompt 'Please enter a single character' is clearly crazy? Even if that isn't a character in common natural languages, using it in a mathematical context for example isn't strange at all. Hint: The above character has *no* precomposed form (and is made up from two code points), and a program that stores the response to such a prompt into a single Char/WideChar/etc variable will just fail silently.
