    No. All permutations of combining marks (all having non-zero combining classes) are equivalent to
    each other. The whole string may also be equivalent to other strings that differ in more than
    permutations.

    This is the best advice: Read the spec if you care.

    If you don't care about the details, you can simply use a library that gives you a function to test
    if strings are equal under canonical equivalence.
