Umm, let's try that again (not typing in haste, at night, this time) U+2261 is used to show a canonical decomposition, and U+2248 to show a compatibility decomposition. Also I slightly misstated the conformance requirements around canonical decomposition (the type that relates <A, combining acute> to <A with combining acute>). A process may distinguish between the two: for example, it might support the latter but not the former. What it can't do is assume that some *other* process will distinguish between the two. That is, it can't use <A, combining acute> to mean one thing and <A with combining acute> to mean something else. -- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan "You cannot enter here.
