2. Another invisible diacritics carrier

I also found an acute on diphtongs, placed on the boundary of both letters
(au, ei, eu, oe, and ui).


Wouldn't such diacritic be hold by the currently proposed invisible base character (in the Public Review section of the Unicode website), by encoding for example:
a,INVISIBLE LETTER,combining acute,u
If you think there's a grapheme cluster here, I suggest using ZWJ to attach the three default grapheme clusters:
a,ZWJ,INVISIBLE LETTER,combining acute,ZWJ,u
to create a kerning ligature between the two vowels.


Surely the intention is for <INVISIBLE LETTER, combining acute> to be equivalent (although it cannot be canonically equivalent) to spacing acute, U+00B4? But then would this kind of ligature mechanism with ZWNJ and U+00B4 be appropriate? I would think not.
