Hmmm.  Further on the inside-out rule.  Note the following pairs, which 
are supposed to be in UTF-8:

ā̈ ǟ
ṻ ǖ

The first "a" with combiners isn't displaying correctly here, it should
have the diaeresis above the macron, just like the first "u".  I attach
a GIF showing the display using Doulos SIL/BabelPad.

But, this isn't a font problem as this repros with at least one other
font.  Therefore, I think it's a bug in the rendering engine.  It looks
like the rendering engine is doing an unwanted reordering for the
first "a" sequence.

Best regards,
