Probably you didn't mean this, however: I don't think that q with tilde is
an actual Yoruba letter.

I just used it as an example of an accented character not having a
corresponding precomposite sequence. (BTW: "q" came natural as a base
letter, because of an old joke on Italian TV about a "q with an accent". Of
course, the comic actor who repeated that joke on TV did not know that
Unicode was under development at the same age).
