Sure it means a bit extra OpenType work, but this can easily be

Howdy,
Just curious... what happens when you try to do search within or a
copy from a pdf which has such combined characters?
PDF has the /ActualText(...) replacement tagging feature.
This allows you to capture a sequence of content characters
and declare the whole collection to be equivalent to a single
(or sequence of) Unicode point(s).
Searching and copying is *supposed to* use these replacements,
when available. Unfortunately, not all PDF browsers actually
do this yet.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
Hope this helps,
Ross
