I don't think that's right. If you look at definition D6 (p.
41, section 3.3, Unicode 3.0):
"A Unicode abstract character is generally encoded by a single
Unicode code value; the only exception involves surrogate
pairs..."
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Q WITH CIRCUMFLEX is a text element, but
not a Unicode abstract character.
