Post title: Glyphs
This may not be the issue at all here... but Unicode is one thing, the glyphs actually encoded by a given font is another.
If a font doesn't contain a glyph with a diacritical mark, the glyph can in many cases be decomposed into the base character and the diacritic. The text system needs to handle these cases intelligently (usually, but not always, this done by the OS).
