One of the things I find difficulty with in searching the Vim documentation is the many different ways the feature that you're looking for may be indexed under. I was searching for 'composing' wihcih led me onto 'combining'. There may have been a reference to 'digraphs' there... no there aren't, at least not directly in the part of mbyte.txt that you jump to with ':he composing'. I assume from the context that the term 'composing' is mainly for use in oriental/pictographic type languages (although, thinking about it, it'd probably be useful in implementing languages like arabic, where the shape of a character is affected by it's position...)
