Would that make sense?
Do you mean multiple code points forming one character? I still find the use of the term 'glyph' confusing here and would prefer to leave it out if possible, because it doesn't seem that we're really talking about "The actual, concrete image of a glyph representation having been rasterized or otherwise imaged onto some display surface." I think it's best if RTT talks about characters and code points. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
