By contrast, и and й are not interfiled.
I can’t see why you put these as an example. They are completely different letters (vowel and consonant), notwithstanding their similar look. ...
I used these as an example because in Unicode й canonically decomposes to и and breve, just like ё canonically decomposes to е plus diaeresis (or umlaut? not sure what German bibliographers would make of this one), and a diacritic folding would automatically fold й with и as well as ё with е. I presume the former folding would be unacceptable to Russians, at least in some contexts.
