What is the difference between ‘combining characters’ 
(http://www.unicode.org/faq/char_combmark.html) and ‘grapheme extenders’ 
(http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Grapheme_Extend) in Unicode?

They seem to do the same thing, as far as I can tell – although the set of 
grapheme extenders is larger than the set of combining characters. I’m clearly 
missing something here. Why the distinction?

I’ve also posted this question on Stack Overflow:
