But all Unicode-defined processes splitting text treat the combination
of base and combining mark as unbreakable!  WJ+diacritic would only
make sense if one were fighting a hyphenator that chose to separate
bases and spacing combining marks, or a processor that split Sanskrit
text into individual words. Even then, WJ is strictly speaking defined
as indicating no word boundary, rather than no line break.
