For Hebrew, the diplay is a bit different (no composition info):
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-unknown-DejaVu
Sans-normal-normal-normal-*-27-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x53D)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: HEBREW LETTER SHIN
...

          display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-unknown-DejaVu
Sans-normal-normal-normal-*-27-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x51F)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: HEBREW POINT SHIN DOT
...

          display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-unknown-DejaVu
Sans-normal-normal-normal-*-27-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x516)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: HEBREW POINT QAMATS

While a Latin test gives:
          display: composed to form "Ȧ" (see below)

Composed with the following character(s) "̇" using this font:
  xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-27-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
  [0 1 65 36 16 1 16 20 0 nil]
  [0 1 775 652 16 7 10 20 -17 [-16 -6 0]]

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
