But I'm not sure that ZERO WIDTH SYMBOL is the best name, unless you
are suggesting other uses in which it really has zero width. Well, it
might have in a case like line initial holam which shifts on to a

What would be a better name? ACCENT CARRIER?

Perhaps CARRIER FOR COMBINING CHARACTERS - not COMBINING CHARACTER CARRIER as that gives the wrong idea that this should itself be a combining character, it should not.
