What I mean is a mechanism for doing what ZWJ is defined to do, from TUS section 15.2:I agree with the first part of your analysis. By the phrase "requesting ligation of combining characters" it is unclear to me what you mean, and whether that is the right solution to whatever problem you are referring to.

Joiner. U+200D ïïïï ïïïïï ïïïïïï is intended to produce a more connected rendering of
adjacent characters than would otherwise be the case, if possible. In particular:
â If the two characters could form a ligature but do not normally, ZWJ requests
that the ligature be used.
â Otherwise, if either of the characters could cursively connect but do not normally,
ZWJ requests that each of the characters take a cursive-connection form
where possible.
- but in a case where the adjacent characters are combining characters associated with the same base character (and I am thinking of ligation rather than cursive connection). If ZWJ cannot be part of a combining character sequence, I infer that it would not be suitable for this function, although I would be happy to be corrected.
