Thanks. The actual case I found is Devanagari: SA + ZWNJ + ANUSVARA.
Does this have some special meaning, or is it the same as the A-ACUTE case?

So 'a' is the base character for the acute. The clauses with zwj/nj
are really designed for Indic and similar scripts. The rendering isn't
specified for other cases, but where the zwj/nj are not defined to
have an effect, they should* be ignored for normal rendering. That
being said, this is such an edge case that I don't think the 'should'
is enough to jump through hoops for.

Hello,
I searched the list archives and didn't find anything that
addressed this exact issue. If I see a sequence like a + ZWNJ +
ACUTE, should it be rendered as a followed by an acute accent over
a dotted circle, or should it be rendered as A-ACUTE?
(The actual case I hit was in Devanagari, but it seems to me that
the question applies to all scripts with non-spacing marks)
