Using a certain newly "Unicode-aware" database application which shall
remain nameless (FileMaker 7):
imported UTF-8 sequences like [U+0065][U+0303] <e, tilde> get remapped
internally to [U+1ebd] LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH TILDE.
Is this kind of behavior what one would expect?
It's problematic (and buglike) for at least one reason: one needs to
put all these precomposed things in one's font, or FileMaker doesn't
display them properly.
I'm assuming it will export the data in decomposed form ... but haven't
actually tried that yet ...
BTW, this application supports import of UTF-8, but will not export
UTF-8. That's odd, isn't it? It'll only export UTF-16 (it's internal
storage form).
