You're right. Initially I wanted to verify their combining classes to see
which form was the NFC or NFD, but I did not need to remember these classes
values as they effectively combine at the same (above) class.
So depending on the letters to encode one can use any of:
NFC: <LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE, COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX>
NFD: <LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I, COMBINING DOT ABOVE, COMBINING
CIRCUMFLEX>
to encode the circumflex above the dot (I think this is what Turkish would
use as the fot is considered part of the base letter),
or any of:
NFC: <LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH CIRCUMFLEX, COMBINING DOT ABOVE>
NFD: <LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I, COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX, COMBINING DOT
ABOVE>
to encode the dot above the circumflex (but may be Turkish will not make a
difference here and will read it as a glyph variant)
