Description Denis Jacquerye 2005-11-23 21:36:56 UTC 
Canonical decomposition should be used to compose or decompose characters or
sequences of characters that are not available.

For example ï U+00EF should be used if < U+0069 + U+0308 > cannot be composed,
i.e. if the combining dieresis U+0308 is not in the font.

The other way around should work too. If ṣ U+1E63 is not in the font, < U+0073 +
U+0323 > should be used.

If the font contains GPOS and GSUB tables for those characters, they should be used.
