Unicode characters have names which say what they look like. For instance, á is LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE. Even if my terminal could not display á, that name would tell me what it is. If that diamond were not inside a composition, I could use C-u C-x = on it and find out what character that is. The flaw here is that there is no way to see the descriptive name of the second character in a composition. C-u C-x = shows the name for the first composed character, #x75, but fails to show it for #x304: Composed with the following character(s) "̄" by these characters: u (#x75) ̄ (#x304) Character code properties: customize what to show name: LATIN SMALL LETTER U general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase) decomposition: (117) ('u') [nothing further] I would like C-u C-x = on a composed charadcter to show the name for each character in the composition. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
