True. On the other hand, the sequence: * U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A * U+0308 COMBINING DIAERESIS will render exactly the same glyph. The two forms are closely related: U+00E4 is in NFC (normalization form canonical composition), U+0061 U+0308 is in NFD (normalization form canonical decomposition).
