In some important Tibetan texts occur combinations like:

"kyyrruuooiieeM"

U+0F40 U+0FB1 U+0FB1 U+0FB2 U+0FB2 U+0F74 U+0F74 U+0F7C U+0F7C U+0F72 U+0F72
U+0F7A U+0F7A U+0F7F

or normalized as:

U+0F40 U+0FB1 U+0FB1 U+0FB2 U+0FB2 U+0F7C U+0F7C U+0F72 U+0F72 U+0F7A U+0F7A
U+0F74 U+0F74 U+0F7F

(This is *not* an abbreviation but some esoteric word.)

Fortunately such things are fairly infrequent.
