I'd argue that there are (at least) two problems: 1) that byte codes/codepoints aren't being normalized effectively and 2) rendering systems are rendering improperly. In my opinion, any reasonable rendering system should render the byte codes for base character plus combining accent *exactly* the same as the precombined form. > Wikipedia would always prefer the latter. I think "latter" here is NFC which we've already discussed, but I don't understand the reference to Wikipedia. > ... the combining marks looked ugly in my browser. That just means that you've got a buggy browser and/or rendering subsystem for your operating system. It doesn't have anything to do with the buggy underlying characters.
