I asked: : wondered how to code an s-j overstrike combination
and learn from Karl Pentzlin about n3555.pdf where Michael Everson proposes U+1E0A2 LATIN SMALL LETTER ESJ (and many other characters). This document is from 2008. What is the status?

Yes, o-slash is not decomposed, so is different from o followed by U+0337. But otherwise: are the characters with names starting with COMBINING not intended to be used as combining diacriticals? Wouldn't use such as the above be precisely as intended? [However, n3555.pdf also contains U+1E067 LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH WITH STROKE U+1E06E LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH DIAGONAL STROKE U+1E096 LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH DIAGONAL STROKE and, e.g., U+1E0AE LATIN SMALL LETTER NASAL Y for y with ogonek. At first sight I do not see the a-ring-ogonek here. Does it occur elsewhere?] Andries
