[...] I thought the order was the other way around (base character, then combining character). I tested it with: printf 'o\xcc\x81o\n' >A.txt google-chrome A.txt I see: óo I also tried printf 'x \xcc\x81a\n', and I sometimes see "x á", but the terminal seems to think the accent is above the space (e.g. selecting 'a' doesn't select the accent). The accent appears above the space if I use a non-monospace font in a browser. -Ryan
