It would be combining in both fonts.
Although it is not usual in Latin script
to place diacritical marks after the letter,
IMHO there is no reason why it could not be done.
So I can imagine following characters:
for Irish:
COMBINING H AFTER
COMBINING SEIMHIU
in modern fonts equal to
0307 COMBINING DOT ABOVE
in archaic fonts equal to
COMBINING H AFTER
for Czech:
COMBINING SHORT NABODENICKO
in modern fonts equal to
030C COMBINING CARON
in archaic fonts equal to
0307 COMBINING DOT ABOVE
COMBINING C BEFORE
<H><COMBINING C BEFORE> = CH
P.A.
