The Science Behind Unicode Combining Diacritical Marks
Languages around the world require diacritical marks (such as accents, umlauts, cedillas, and macrons) to modify pronunciations. Unicode standardizes these as combining marks (code points U+0300 to U+036F). By programmatically appending multiple top, middle, and bottom marks to a single letter, FontGen simulates a haunting digital malfunction without corrupting the underlying text.
