@kongtomorrow .ForcedOrderingSearch exhibits this behavior for any pair of equivalent strings where combining diacritics are used.

@warrenm good point, though not what I meant. I deleted the tweet because my counterexample was wrong. :-p

@kongtomorrow Curious to hear your thoughts anyway. I spent a good half hour mulling it over ;)

@warrenm sorry! I got curious about "", "", "" with case/diacritic insensitivity in comparison and search, but misinterpreted my result

@warrenm upshot is that the modifier is not considered a diacritic or anything else, but the generic version is a substring of the others

@kongtomorrow This was my naive understanding of how it was done, but as we all know, Unicode is anything but straightforward.
