Apparently POJ system uses ten vowels (a, e, i, m, ng, o, o dot above, u, u diaeresis below) and five tone marks (acute, grave, circumflex, macron, vertical bar). However, <dot above> (U+0307) and <acute> (U+0301) has the same combining class (230: above), <o + acute + dot above> is not canonically equivalent to <o + dot above + acute>. If <o dot above> is a vowel and acute is a tone mark, their combination <LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DOT ABOVE AND ACUTE> should be encoded as <o + dot above + acute>, I think. Similarly <o + dot above + circumflex>, <o + dot above + grave>, and <o + dot above + macron>. SADAHIRO Tomoyuki
