    0756 is *not* a precomposed character: there is no decomposition defined
    for it. Therefore 0756 is *not* the same as 066E+065A

    Note also that as used in African languages, 0756 is a consonant, not a
    consonant +vowel, and 065A is a vowel, used in syllable construction with
    a number of consonants.
