It probably depends on what you mean by "support" and "diacritics." I can type a Tamil letter followed by a combining acute accent or diaeresis, and in Arial Unicode MS it actually looks halfway decent. Many years ago, William Overington famously put a combining circumflex on top of U+2604 COMET. You just type one character followed by another and hope for the best, display-wise. You don't get any other special behavior. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a comment on my statement that arbitrary subscript and superscript is similar to other attributes that are not defined to be part of plain text. -- Doug Ewell | http://ewellic.org | Thornton, CO 🇺🇸
