 From http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2015/15169-montenegro-cyrillic.pdf,
"Addition of two letters from Montenegrin language, CYRILLIC script":

> 9. Can any of the proposed characters be encoded using a composed
> character sequence of either existing characters or other proposed
> characters?
> No

Saying it doesn't make it so:

> Annex 1: Character shapes (related to section B, item 4b)
> Cyrillic small letter SJ
> с́

<0441 0301>

> Cyrillic capital letter SJ
> С́

<0421 0301>

> Cyrillic small letter ZJ
> з́

<0437 0301>

> Cyrillic capital letter ZJ
> З́

<0417 0301>

Quite a few fonts don't display these well (and quite a few do), but of
course that's a font problem, not an encoding problem.
