Please see John Hudson's post regarding terminology on another list to
understand why Doug Ewell calls "glyph" an inappropriate choice here,
specifically the end of the diacritic section:
http://lists.kabissa.org/lists/archives/public/a12n-collaboration/msg00144.html
Rather than (mis)using the term "glyph" in this context, it might be
better to call it a "grapheme/typeform" or even spell it out as "letter
or letter-with-mark combination".
Best regards,
