Keep in mind that the IDC's are *visible* dingbats sitting
in text, used in combination with ideographs and/or radicals,
to *describe* an unencoded Han ideograph.

The IDC's are *not* a composition method per se. They are
not invisible control/format characters. Ideographic
Description Sequences do *not* imply any formal equivalences
in the standard.
