To reproduce:
emacs -Q
! ;; input an exclamation mark (#x21)
C-x 8 RET 2 0 E 4 RET ;; COMBINING ENCLOSING UPWARD POINTING TRIANGLE
RET ;; Newline
C-x 8 2 6 A 0 RET ;; WARNING SIGN
I tried many fonts, but all results look weird (the first line is
incomplete and too large).
(I haven't tried it on other platforms yet, so I'm not sure whether it's
NS-port specific.)

What font(s) were used to display this character?
If you go to the first line, which shows the character only partially,
and type C-a, does that fix the problem?
What about "M-x redraw-display RET"?
Finally, if you go to the first partially displayed character and type
"C-u C-x =", what does Emacs show?

On Fedora 19, the first does not combine, I just get ! followed by an upward pointing triangle.
The second is very small, see screen shot.
The NS one looks better, but when moving the cursor over the first row, it redraws funny. And metrics are off, the distance between the first triangle and the aaa to the right is actually only one space. The aaa to the left is also followed by a space, but there the distance is too short, and the source of the redraw error.
W32 anyone?

On w32, the Uniscribe font driver does not compose these two
characters. So I guess this composition is done by the driver used by
NS, and perhaps the composition information Emacs gets is incorrect.
Once again, please show the full output of "C-u C-x =" on the composed
character, the pixel-level data of the composition shown there will
probably tell us what is wrong.

On one OSX system, the result of "! C-x 8 RET 2 0 E 4 RET" _looks_
like a single character, but actually isn't: I can move cursor twice
across the result, and "C-u C-x =" doesn't show the composition
results. Is that what you see?

I don't know if it says anything. In Emacs the square is actually a triangle, displayed too far to the left, i.e. covering half the letter to the left. The mailer I use can't display it.

Thanks. So this is not a composition at all, and the wicked way the
triangle is displayed is not Emacs's fault at all. I guess the font
used by NS or the font driver are at fault here. FWIW, on MS-Windows,
I see the ! and the triangle after it correctly, as 2 separate
characters (using Code2000 font).

Similar to Jan's. The general-category for this character is "Me (Mark,
Enclosing)", so it is a nonspacing mark, which is a kind of combining
character.

What do you mean by composition? Is it that the two characters are replaced by another character that is equivalent? That may not be possible since we can combine any character with the triangle, such a glyph may not be available. Or is it simply that Emacs treats the two characters as one?
Why is displaying the ! and the triangle after it as separate characters correct? The triangle is a composing character and should be displayed above the !.

Character composition in Emacs can happen in 1 of 2 ways:
. The font driver tells Emacs to compose several characters into a
single grapheme cluster, by drawing all of them as a single unit,
and by drawing the 2nd, 3rd, etc. character glyphs at certain pixel
offsets relative to the base glyph.
. Emacs itself has composition rules for 2 or more characters; in
this case, the same pixel offsets come from those rules.
The first possibility includes possible substitution of a single glyph
for several characters, but that's not the only possibility, because
the font driver tells Emacs both the glyphs to draw and their relative
pixel positions.
In both cases, Emacs shows the composition details in "C-u C-x =",
here's an example:
Composed with the following character(s) "ִ" using this font:
uniscribe:-outline-Courier New-bold-normal-normal-mono-15-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
[0 1 1506 690 9 0 8 12 5 nil]
[0 1 1460 657 9 0 5 12 5 [-7 0 0]]
In the case in point, there was no such display of composition
details. So I concluded that no composition was done.
> Or is it simply that Emacs treats the two characters as one?
Emacs will treat them as one, more or less, if they are composed by
one of the above two methods. ("More or less" because we still allow
certain operations, such as delete-char, to act on individual
characters that were composed.)
> Why is displaying the ! and the triangle after it as separate characters correct? The triangle is a composing character and should be displayed above the !.
I meant "correct" in the sense that there's no apparent redisplay bug:
the display engine behaves according to the information it has.
The OP's bug report was about the partial display of the triangle, not
about the lack of composition.
If the font driver doesn't tell us that the characters need to be
combined, and we don't have in Emacs a rule to do that ourselves, then
the problem, if there is one, is not in the display engine. If we
want to combine this character, we should write a composition rule for
it.

The first way can only work if both characters are coming from the same
font. Not sure if that is also true for the second way, but I'd guess
yes.

Yes.

I'm not sure, either. The second way happens when we generate the
glyph matrices -- do we select font before or after that? If after,
we probably look for a font that supports all of the characters in the
composition. Perhaps Handa-san could comment on this.
But, at least in my testing, I used a font that definitely supports
both characters, and the composition still didn't happen.

Sorry for not being clear. I expect the same result for characters in
one group, but there are all kinds of results. Some characters are
partial displayed, like the OP.

Except for the last group, because the correct order of codes is base
character code + breathing mark code + accent mark code (which is the
first one).

Again, please tell (using "C-u C-x =") which ones are actually
composed, and which ones are displayed as several separate
characters. If any of these characters are composed and the results
are displayed incorrectly, please show the last portion of "C-u C-x ="
display, where Emacs describes the composition.
Can you try some font that is known to be good at displaying Unicode,
such as Code2000 or DejaVu Sans?
FWIW, I see no problems with Emacs display of these characters on
MS-Windows: characters in each group are indeed displayed the same.
So I'm not sure what are we still discussing here, since the quality
of fonts on any given platform is hardly on-topic in the bug tracker,
and the NS font driver is not part of Emacs.

I see the same results in the last group as well (on Windows XP),

So what? The NS font driver is still part of Emacs even if it has bugs.

What kind of bugs do you have in mind? If the characters aren't
composed, then the only bug I can think of is that nsfont.m somehow
processes the character metrics in the font incorrectly. To test this
hypothesis Someone(TM) should show the character metrics using some
external tool, and compare that with what nsfont.m calculates. Or,
alternatively, show that exactly the same font does produce a correct
display on another platform; then we could compare the two font
back-ends we have for these platforms.
As long as none of this is done, adding more pictures to this
discussion doesn't help us make any progress. And I cannot understand
why requests for showing "C-u C-x =" are consistently ignored by the OP.

Which is what I said was happening in comment #11.

nsfont.m has problems with composition, there is even comments about this in the code.
But from what I see on X11 and what you reported from W32, no other platform does produce the correct result (i.e. the ! and the triangle in the same place), so comparing to those backends doesn't help.

Adding more pictures does indeed not help much.

In that case, yes, I think we can conclude that there's no Emacs
issue. But Xue now seems to say that there are other similar
situations with other combining characters, so we need to know if any
compositions are involved in those.

FWIW, I tested the mac port that has another font driver, and it doesn't work correctly either. It does not find a good font for the triangle and only displays an empty square. No composition happens.

Except the larger bug that Emacs does not handle combining characters correctly in the general case, i.e. not combining the ! and the triangle on X11 and W32 (and Mac port). And if it is a bug in the NS font driver, that is also an Emacs issue. There must be one, either metrics should be corrected or the NS font driver should be modified to behave in the same (incorrect) way as the other platforms.
So it is too early to dismiss this as not an Emacs issue.

The exact key sequences that produced them would help also.

The support for this character seems to be very scarce. This page:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20e4/fontsupport.htm
lists some fonts, but at least some of them seem to not have a glyph
for this character, at least on Windows. Code2000 does display the
characters, but that font is not free.

Is there any application out there that does combine these 2
characters, with any font? If not, perhaps it's not an Emacs issue
after all.
E.g., Code2000, which is really good, produces a composed character
for a followed by u+20d0, but not for a followed by u+20e4. You can
experiment with other combining diacriticals from that Unicode block,
and you will see that some of them combine, while others do not.
If the fonts do not tell us to combine characters, the only way to do
that is to provide an Emacs composition rule for those characters.
> And if it is a bug in the NS font driver, that is also an Emacs issue. There must be one, either metrics should be corrected or the NS font driver should be modified to behave in the same (incorrect) way as the other platforms.
If you mean the incorrect display of the lone u+20e4, then I just
installed the STIX fonts (from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/files/?source=navbar) on my
Windows box, and didn't see any problems as originally reported here.
Can you install the latest STIX fonts and try with that on NS? If the
problem persists, then I agree that nsfont.m is probably the culprit.

You can always use "C-x 8 RET" to type the characters, so I don't see
why the key sequences would be an issue.

Yes, the builtin TextEdit application does it.

The behaviour iis the same with that STIX version as it is with the OSX supplied STIX version.

You are showing information about a different character, the character
called out by LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX + COMBINING ACUTE
ACCENT has the codepoint of u+1ea5.

Does it use the same font?

Then I guess something is indeed wrong with nsfont.m. Let me know if
you need any information from the w32 code.

Indeed, and I pointed out that the character actually contained in the
OP's attachement was not what he meant it to be.

Just using C-x 8 ⏎ and enter the Unicode name of the character (which
is in the attachment) and press return.

Thanks. This is quite different from what I get on MS-Windows with
the Uniscribe shaping engine. I don't know the explanation of these
differences; in fact I cannot even identify the code in nsfont.m that
generates these data structures. Perhaps Handa-san could help us out
here.
What shaping engine is used by the NS port, btw?
I summarize some of the differences in the computed composition data
below, the data format is defined in the doc string of
composition-get-gstring as follows:
[ FROM-IDX TO-IDX C CODE WIDTH LBEARING RBEARING ASCENT DESCENT
[ [X-OFF Y-OFF WADJUST] | nil] ]
where
FROM-IDX and TO-IDX are used internally and should not be touched.
C is the character of the glyph.
CODE is the glyph-code of C in FONT-OBJECT.
WIDTH thru DESCENT are the metrics (in pixels) of the glyph.
X-OFF and Y-OFF are offsets to the base position for the glyph.
WADJUST is the adjustment to the normal width of the glyph.
It looks like NS consistently produces more negative values of X-OFF,
which might explain why portions of the combining characters are drawn
off screen.
Character seq. W32 NS

Right. And U+20E4 has this entry.
(aref composition-function-table #x20E4)

This says that a base character (char-category ".") followed
by a combing character (char-category "^") should be
composed by the function compose-gstring-for-graphic if
those character are displayed by the same font.
But, I found a bug in characters.el. In it, U+20E4's
char-actegory is not set as "^". So, Emacs couldn't compose
it with the preceding base character. I've just installed a
fix.
Now, Emacs composes U+20E4 with the preceding "!" if the
same font is selected for those two characters.
Next, I'm not sure whether Emacs composes them correctly if
the underlying font driver doesn't support OTF's "mark" and
"mkmk" features. The function compose-gstring-for-graphic
has a code for such a case, but I don't remember that I
wrote a code for "enclosing combining marks".

Looks like Uniscribe should need this, at least on XP: I do get a
composition, but the left part of the triangle is off-screen.

That square is actually the glyph for U+20E4 in the PCMyungjo font.
Though it is not correct of course, but TextEdit.app also selects
PCMyungjo for U+20E4 by default and displays the square.
We need some tricks to make the composition happen for this case on
the Mac port.
(set-fontset-font t #x20e4 "STIXGeneral")
(set-char-table-range composition-function-table #x20e4
(cons ["!." 1 font-shape-gstring 0]
(aref composition-function-table #x20e4)))
The last element in the vector is an extension specific to the Mac
port, and it specifies the position of the character (relative to that
for the key) from which the font object is obtained. It was
originally introduced to support Variation Selectors 15 (text-style)
and 16 (emoji-style).
The result may not be satisfactory, but its consistency with that of
TextEdit.app (upper window in the screenshot) indicates it is the
behavior of the standard text shaper on OS X.
The other latin example seems to work perfectly on the Mac port
without any settings.

I wonder if it is locale dependent. For me TextEdit.ap selects STIXGeneral and the composition is correct.

I saw the same rendering on GNU/Linux with a font
which doesn't have a proper feature for U+20E4. I'm now
investigating how to improve compose-gstring-for-graphic.

Then I guess it's something related to the fact that the base
character '!' is much narrower than the triangle.

I've just installed a fix. Now at least on GNU/Linux with
FreeSans font for ASCII and U+20e4, the layouting is
improved.

Thanks, it's improved on Windows as well.

How? I don't see any difference compared to earlier.

Okay, now I see it, I selected the wrong Sans-font.

(That was 7 years ago.)
The recipe to reproduce this bug is:
! ;; input an exclamation mark (#x21)
C-x 8 RET 2 0 E 4 RET ;; COMBINING ENCLOSING UPWARD POINTING TRIANGLE
RET ;; Newline
C-x RET 8 2 6 A 0 RET ;; WARNING SIGN
This gives me, on current master running on GNU/Linux:
!⃤
⚠
Besides the fact that the upper triangle is large and the warning sign
is small in my case, I see nothing untowards about this.
Is this all working correctly now, or is there anything left to be done?
Could this bug be closed?
Thanks in advance.
