Code points is the natural unity to work, that is what we receive from the lyx file. > José> Are those cases relevant?

I am walking on thin glass here, so I could say a bunch of mistakes without realising. AFAIK, there are languages like Thai where you can have several (more than two) characters combining into a grapheme. Is it worth for the kernel to care about this cases? I am tempted like Lars to delegate this to the frontend, because no matter what we do the frontend needs to be aware of them. But again take this with lots of salt. :-) > JMarc -- José Abílio
