Hmmm... Letter H is not two I's with a hyphen in between. But CH actually is
a C and an H, possibly joined to form a single letter.

But what about:

004A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER J
        = 0049 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
        + 0321 COMBINING PALATALIZED HOOK BELOW
        [canonical]

0055 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U
        = <font variant> 0056 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
        [compatibility]

0057 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W
        = 0056 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
        + 0056 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
        [compatibility]

And, similarly:

006A LATIN SMALL LETTER J
        = 0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I
        + 0321 COMBINING PALATALIZED HOOK BELOW
        [canonical]

0075 LATIN SMALL LETTER U
        = <font variant> 0076 LATIN SMALL LETTER V
        [compatibility]

0077LATIN SMALL LETTER W
        = 0076 LATIN SMALL LETTER V
        + 0076 LATIN SMALL LETTER V
        [compatibility]

That would be a great example on non-English-centric encoding!

Ciao.

P.S. ;-) !!!
