I used these as an example because in Unicode é canonically decomposes
to è and breve, just like ¸ canonically decomposes to å plus diaeresis
(or umlaut? not sure what German bibliographers would make of this one),
and a diacritic folding would automatically fold é with è as well as ¸
with å. I presume the former folding would be unacceptable to Russians,
at least in some contexts.
