Yes, in GNU Emacs 23:

         character: U (85, #o125, #x55)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
        code point: 0x55
            syntax: w 	which means: word
          category: a:ASCII l:Latin r:Japanese roman
       buffer code: #x55
         file code: not encodable by coding system utf-8-unix
           display: composed to form "Ü" (see below)
      Unicode data:
              Name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U
          Category: Letter, Uppercase
   Combining class: Lu
     Bidi category: Lu
         Lowercase: u

Composed with the following character(s) "¨" by the rule:
	(?U (tc . bc) ?¨)
The component character(s) are displayed by these fonts (glyph codes):
U: -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60- 
ISO8859-1 (#x55)
¨: -MUTT-ClearlyU-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-P-123-ISO10646-1  
(#x308)

(Here you can see the reason for the large vertical composed  
characters: a much too big font.)

In GNU Emacs 22.0.50 they are not composed, they are <vowel><accent>.


Instead of composing a character I would first try to find the pre- 
composed form in the font(set) used. It surely would look much better.
