    There are several meanings of "compatibility characters".

    The most important here are the characters that have a

    see UTR 20: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr20/.

    The oe ligature characters have no decomposition at all.

    Which is unrelated to the question posed! See UTR 20 instead.
