Double-encode the vowel marks. As things stand, two Unicode principles are in conflict: combining characters come after their bases, and natural-language text is encoded in phonetic order (with I think four exceptions in Thai and four in Lao as a result of the typewriter-based legacy standard). ...
Hebrew furtive patah is another exception: pronounced before the base character but encoded after it.
