I guess it's less messy than other situations. I just couldn't help wondering why combining letters with diacritics are being encoded but letters with diacritics or out of the question. >> 1DEC is not based on a character that itself is decomposable, at least >> the way things are, so it's not on topic. >> > > Actually, c-cedilla *is* decomposable, which is precisely why it *is* on > topic. > See U+00E7, which has a canonical decomposition mapping. I should have pointed 1DEC is COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH DOUBLE MIDDLE TILDE, at least in N4244. It is not decomposable, or am I wrong there? Thanks for answering and clarifying things in any case. -- Denis Moyogo Jacquerye
