Seems like the problem is more complicated than that. It suggests that
for many fonts,
U+0067 LATIN SMALL LETTER G + U+0327 COMBINING CEDILLA
and
U+0067 LATIN SMALL LETTER G + U+0312 COMBINING TURNED COMMA ABOVE
would have exactly the same rendering. Some applications would need to
know this and treat U+0067 U+0327 the same as U+0067 U+0312 as
equivalent.
I wonder if there's call for some sort of table of Unicode sequences
that aren't canonically equivalent but render the same.
