Just noticed your post on the blog entry itself so sorry if I misunderstood what you were asking about diacritics - the short answer is that the engine looks up the information in the Unicode Character Database (which libICU provides a nice interface to). It is this that has caused the expansion in the size of the standalones in the DP (temporarily, we hope).
