It does. General_Category=Mn and ccc=230 indicates that a character is
a non-spacing mark positioned *above* its base.
Attempting to get more precise that that with a *character* property would
be a mistake. Such interaction in detail between a mark and its base is
an attribute of glyphs and their design, and properly belongs to the realm
of rendering and fonts.
