          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 66276
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: MathML export: avoid using combining characters for
                    accents and diacritical marks
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
         Component: Formula Editor
           Product: LibreOffice

As indicated in the MathML spec:

"In the UCS there are many combining characters that are intended to be used
for the many accents of numerous different natural languages. Some of them may
seem to provide markup needed for mathematical accents. They should not be used
in mathematical markup. Superscript, subscript, underscript, and overscript
constructions as just discussed above should be used for this purpose. Of
course, combining characters may be used in multi-character identifiers as they
are needed, or in text contexts."

LibreOffice should try to use the non-combining versions when possible. Some of
the work is already done in bug 66024. BTW, "U+20D7 COMBINING RIGHT ARROW
ABOVE" looks really ugly in Firefox so I wonder if it should be replaced by
"U+2192 RIGHTWARDS ARROW", at least for MathML export.
