Previous versions of foot implemented a simple grapheme cluster segmentation technique that **only** handled zero-width -codepoints. This allowed us to cluster composed characters, like q́ +codepoints. This allowed us to cluster combining characters, like q́ (_q_ + _COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT_). Once we have a grapheme cluster, we need to _shape_ it. -Composed characters are simple: they are typically rendered as +Combining characters are simple: they are typically rendered as multiple glyphs layered on top of each other. This is why previous versions of foot got away with it without any actual text shaping support.
