They're in the U+0300 to U+0345 range. Yep the combining
diacriticals. Abi does have problems. Static rendering is okay
but editing, selecting blocks, etc is not good. The same
problems exist with "complex" scripts like Sanskrit, Thai, and
Arabic/Farsi to a lesser extent.
This should all go on the post 1.0 list I think...
