    Isn't the use of overlay combining marks deprecated, as Unicode already
    accepts the addition of "combined" characters?

    Which kind of stroke is used?
    - oblique slash or horizontal bar, as both are used across letter 'o', in
    Nordic or African languages?
    - if horizontal across the long vertical stem like 't', or across the legs
    like barred 'r' ?
    - if oblique, across the stem like 'l' with stroke in Polish, or across the
    right leg like the Rx symbol?

    Philippe.
