You meant to write “followed by U+0331” at the end. But in any case, 
this is a matter of contrasting a letter followed by a combining 
diacritic (a “decomposed letter”) with a precomposed character. You 
could equally well have contrasted U+0332 with its canonical 
decomposition; in HTML terms,

&#x1e95;<br>
z&#x332;

These render differently (except on Firefox), when e.g. Courier New is used.
