Serious question: Has someone discussed a generic combining mechanism? I mean, characters with an effect like "combine the last two". Say, '!' + '?' + COMBINING OVERLAY = '‽'. '!' + '!' + COMBINING SIDE BY SIDE = '‼', and so on. Similar in spirit to the Ideographic Description Characters, but meant to actually tell the rendering system to combine stuff.
