Since tesh does not mean the same thing as t followed by esh, a
decomposition would be inappropriate.

In Unicode 1.0 they were unified as YOGH, later changed to EZH as part
of the 10646 merger. Later they were disunified: see
http://www.evertype.com/standards/wynnyogh/ezhyogh.html for details.
In short, EZH is always flat-topped, is part of IPA (from Pitman),
and conveys sounds related to z. YOGH is typically round-topped but
sometimes flat-topped, is not part of IPA, and conveys sounds related to g.
