--- Comment #3 from David Chan <[email protected]> ---
It's worth noting that in most software, many common grapheme clusters are
displayed more correctly when encoded as a single unicode character than when
encoded with combining characters. For example, 'sgrîn' ("sgr\u00EEn") displays
correctly in my version of Firefox on Linux, but the equivalent decomposed
string 'sgrîn' ("sgri\u0302n") shows up with the dot still on the i and the
accent in the wrong place (either uncentered over the i, or over the n,
depending on the font).

Therefore, while we may want to search and process text using decomposed forms,
we should probably use the composed forms for display.
