No, this is a misunderstanding. I want a library of artificial
characters which combines base characters and accents to composite
characters, e.g.
.fchar \[u0041_0304] \Z'<shift \[a-] to the right position>'A
.fchar \[-A] \[u0041_0304]
Those macros should work for all platforms and -- if possible -- for
all typesetting devices. Most device specific startup files already
have support for that, e.g., `.ps-achar' or `.dvi-achar'. Using these
macros the repertoire should be extended to cover a broad range of
Unicode characters.
