Actually, current use (e.g. the Brill font made by John Hudson) says:
[cid:image001.png_at_01D16351.1F1BC730]
The double acute is for languages such as Hungarian etc. \

Or IJ (or ij) + combining double acute.
The rendering of these in a standard font (IJ̋ij̋) is usually quite bad. While non ligated character should render correctly (ÍJ́íj́).
This is only a font problem, not an Unicode problem. For me the IJ (or ij) with combining double accent is correct.
Tell this to font authors so they fix their common fonts in later versions (here Microsoft, Adobe, Apple and Google, possibly others, should be hearing your issue for popular OS'es and applications).
