Combining diacritical marks are Unicode characters that are intended to modify other characters (see Diacritic). The main block of combining diacritics is U+0300–U+036F. They are also present in many other blocks of Unicode characters. In Unicode, diacritics are always added after the main character. It is possible to add several diacritics to the same character. In computing, Unicode provides an international standard which has the goal of providing the means to encode the text of every document people want to store on computers. ... A diacritical mark or diacritic, sometimes called an accent mark, is a mark added to a letter to alter a words pronunciation or to distinguish between similar words. ...

Unicode also contains a lot of precomposed characters. So in many cases it is possible to use both combining diacritics and precomposed characters, at the user's choice. In computing, Unicode provides an international standard which has the goal of providing the means to encode the text of every document people want to store on computers. ... Precomposed character is a Unicode entity that can be decomposed into a canonically equivalent string of several other characters. ...
On most computer systems today, the combining diacritics are added to main characters with simple superposition of glyphs. The results are usually far from perfect. The better strategy is to use algorithms that allow to select precomposed glyphs for such combinations. This is possible with OpenType fonts. OpenType is a scalable computer font format initially developed by Microsoft, later joined by Adobe Systems. ...

An abstract character is a unit of textual information such that a sequence of characters defines an abstract text that can be written or recited in various concrete ways all of which are obviously presenting the same underlying text.
The combiningcharacter is supposed to change the shape of the preceding character.
A character's assigned Unicode number is supposed to stay valid for eternity but this ideal was compromised by changes for Unicode 1.1 (removals and reorderings) and Unicode 2.0 (Hangul reordering) already.
