What is the best way to define how to produce letters with two diacritic marks, like ắ (letter a with breve and acute), using prefix notation?
I thought I was clever:
'˘' + '´' > U+E801
U+E801 + 'a' > U+1EAF
So I would use a Private Use character, mapping the combination of two consecutive diacritics to it, then using it as the context. But it does not work.
Using instead
'˘' + '´' > '*BOINK*'
'*BOINK*' + 'a' > U+1EAF
works, but I feel a little silly if I use that.

| Marc Durdin Tavultesoft Staff | This code worked for me, apart from the + '´', as I don't have ´ on my base keyboard. I changed that to + "'" and had no problem with PUA:
'˘' + "'" > U+E801 U+E801 + 'a' > U+1EAF *BOINK* might be more fun :) |
