If o with umlaut and acute is not already supported by Unicode as a
single code point, it never will be, because a decision has been made
not to support new precomposed characters, on the grounds that these are
unnecessary (and potentially extremely numerous!). But Unicode does
support this grapheme as a sequence of code points, o umlaut followed by
combining acute accent. Suitable software should be able to hide
entirely from the user that there is an underlying code point sequence.
