As others got a chance to mention first, Unicode already has such a character, U+034F COMBINING GRAPHEME JOINER. For a full explanation of how CGJ is used, see Section 13.2 of Unicode Standard Annex #28, "Unicode 3.2," located at: http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr28/#13_2_layout_controls -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
