Wouldn't CGJ be useful in some way in cases like that of the cedilla or the light centralization stroke 1AB9 ? "Base character + combining letter + CGJ + combining cedilla" would be clear, the cedilla would not be moved. 1DEC is not based on a character that itself is decomposable, at least the way things are, so it's not on topic. -- Denis Moyogo Jacquerye
